Kane The binding spell crushed my chest as I paced my office, each breath a battle. My hands trembled with barely contained rage as Darren reported Luna's condition. "She collapsed in the fields," he said, his face grim. "The guards just dragged her back to her cell. No medical care." *We need to kill them all*, Shadow snarled, his fury matching mine. The pressure in my head intensified. "How is she now?" I managed to ask through gritted teeth. Blood trickled from my nose, but I ignored it. "Sarah snuck in to check on her. She's weak, dehydrated. The baby..." Darren hesitated. My heart stopped. "What about the baby?" "Its movements were sluggish. Sarah's worried." The binding spell crackled as I slammed my fist into the wall, leaving a crater in the stone. "I should be with her!"
