FINNIAN I came back from my brother's order to kill one of the elders who had disobeyed him and ran away. The bastard knew I would be sent after him and still packed his things, leaving his wife and kids behind like nothing mattered. Coward. Well, I brought his head back, just as my brother requested. As I stepped out of his chamber, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my chest. What the hell? That wasn’t from me. It didn’t feel like mine. It came from someone else. But who? "Do you know, Marlin?" I asked my wolf. He shook his head in my mind. 'I didn't feel anything either.' I shrugged the feeling off. Maybe it was nothing. I turned to look out of the hallway, ready to head to my house, not too far from the palace, but I paused. I hadn’t seen Isolde since yesterday. Not even once.
