DAMON’S POV It had been a few days since the meeting with the kingdom elders and my body had been recovering well until I started feeling strange. I knew something was wrong the moment I felt it, not through sight, not through word but through instinct. The kind that had nothing to do with rank or power but everything to do with something deeper. Something I had been trying to ignore. Something that shouldn’t have been there at all. I wasn’t sure of what was happening or what had happened but what I knew for a fact was that Nyra had something to do with it. My jaw tightened as I stepped into Nyra’s chambers without waiting to be announced. She was already there, standing near the window like she had been expecting me. Of course she had. I shut the door behind me harder than necessary.
