90. Bring Her Home

ALPHA KING AYDEN

Eight hours have passed since Robin and I had our unusual conversation.

Eight hours have passed since Zadie’s kidnapper gave me an ultimatum of forty-eight hours.

Robin has explained some facts about the mate bond; even though Zadie hasn't marked me, the mark on her neck can guide me to her. But for that to happen, Zadie has to be in danger and in extreme pain.

It was concerning but I haven't felt anything strange yet. I was also hoping that my parents would arrive before the moment happened. My dad has to be here before I can leave the palace.

I sat in Regina’s room, occasionally staring at her and my cell phone screen. My grandmother would have been disappointed in me if she had been conscious. She would probably eat me alive when she wakes up and find out I have put Zadie through so much more than anyone could imagine.

Keeping Zadie, a secret should have protected her but it didn't.

“We will save her,” Karl assured me even though he was also very much anxious.
