Kaine
I rush through the halls of the palace. I need to get to Ember’s office. I need to make sure that she’s really gone.
I approach the door to the small office and see that it’s already open. I step inside and look around. Everything looks the same as it did when I last saw it. I allow myself to breathe, thinking it’s a good sign, when I see the key on the desk.
No. Before I can rationalize it I’m out the door and running again, this time to Jake’s room. I bang on the door. I hear a startled yelp from his mate, but I don’t care.
I continue banging, until Jake pulls open the door, blinking into the light of the hallway. “What’s wrong? Are we under attack?”
I shake my head. “No. Ember’s gone. She left the palace. Her room is packed up and the key to her office was on the desk.”
Ja
