Chapter 33: The Waiting Game

Tris refuses to leave the window as she scans the sky for Dom. Amethyst had returned a few hours ago, and a feeling of dread has been growing in her gut ever since. The last time they went to the mainland, it hadn’t ended well, and she worries about Nick’s safety.

Amethyst has come back a few times to check on her, but Tris doesn’t have it in her to talk. She listens as Ginger plays with Ember in the room behind her as she keeps a watchful eye on the sky. Her heart skips a beat every time a dragon soars past her.

Tris hadn’t realized just how busy the Isle is until now. There are dragons and shifters constantly coming and going from the palace.

A dragon approaching in the distance suddenly catches her attention. It’s larger than the others, and Tris can see the white shimmer coming off of his scales. The breath catches in her lungs as she watches it approach. There are only two dragons that size on the Isle. It could be Dom or Eero.
