Leaving for Home

CHAPTER 444

~Kaid's POV~

The moment Zara left for the bath, I paced the room like a caged animal. Every instinct in me screamed that we shouldn't be waiting.

Davion was up to something. I knew it.

But Zara… She had been through too much today. I saw it in the way her shoulders slumped, in the way she held herself together with sheer willpower.

Still, I wouldn't trust that bastard dragon even if the gods themselves told me to.

One hour.

That was all the time Davion had.

If he delayed even a second longer… I'd tear this palace apart to get that damn scale myself.

~Zara's POV~

It was already close to two hours when Davion finally sent for us. I was beyond frustrated, but I let myself be led to the dining room.
