24Chapter Twenty-Four
Meikah wanted to beg Kellan to hurry. Shade was pale with the strain of holding the circle of air in place.
“I’m not suicidal if that’s what you’re asking,” Jelena said. “I want to know why you’d spare us.”
Kellan nodded towards Shade. “I’m not the one who said to let you live.”
Jelena stared up at Kellan for a moment before she spoke. “I concede for today. They’ll let you go unharmed.”
Kellan sheathed his weapons and held a hand out to Jelena, moving his foot off her wrist.
“No,” Neven protested.
Jelena took Kellan’s hand, allowing him to pull her to her feet. Letting go of his hand, she faced her brother. “Anyone who raises a weapon against these three today, will face me.”
Neven’s eyes narrowed. “The day ends at midnight.”
Jelena inclined her head.
