Lyra's POV
The One I Trusted
"She has a partner inside this pack."
The words stayed in the air, it was heavy and sharp and I felt them sank into my chest.
Inside, not outside, not strangers and not enemies far away, it was here with us.
I then looked at Kael and then at Darius and neither of them spoke but I saw it.
They were thinking the same thing.
Who?
My breath slowed and I looked around the room again, the marks on the walls, the ash on the floor and the heat still rang but nothing here felt random..
"This room," I said and Darius turned to me.
"What about it?"
"She used it before," I said.
"How do you know?"
"I feel it."
Kael watched me.
"You felt the temple too," he said and I nodded.
"Yes."
Darius then stepped closer to the wall
