CHAPTER 96 She's Dead

  Nalya

  I fell asleep after my massage, and woke up in the middle of the night. My heart was pounding against my chest after the nightmare of Khai falling over the cliff. 

  I glanced at my side, but Rhaegar was not there. I got out of bed and put on my robe before leaving the suite to look for him. I followed his scent to Khai's room and opened the door, but he was not there, and neither was Khai. 

  'Rhaegar?' I tried to mind-link, but I was met with silence. My heartbeat was erratic, and I feared the worst as I went outside the house. My heart was still frantic. 

   I followed Rhaegar's scent down the quiet forest. So many questions were running in my head. Were they taking a night walk and decided to go for a run? But why would he do that with a child in the middle of the night?  

  "I loved you! I love you so much, but you chose her over me!" I heard screaming and froze. That voice belonged to Juliana. How did she leave her cell? I started to run towards the voices.
