Chapter 323

Kane’s POV

For the next few hours, we talk about the meeting with Clement, the future, and a whole lot of nothing. There’s something comforting in it, just friends having a chat about life, love, and everything in between.

I glance at my watch, surprised to see that it was well past midday. “That’s it,” I say and get up, stretching my too-tight muscles. “We’re taking the week off. I don't know about you, but I've had enough of war to last me a lifetime.”

“Shall I collect Adare?” Zael asks on our way out.

“Not yet. I don’t…Willow thinks he’ll be safe here, but I want to make sure.”

“If what she said about The Goddess is true, she’s probably right. She hasn’t been wrong so far, has she?”

I scrunch up my face and rub my forehead. “I don’t know. I can’t think straight anymore.”

Zael nods. “I know the feeling.”

“Did you get any retaliation over the Raymond thing?”

“Of course I did.”

“And?”

“And nothing. I handled it...it won't come back to you.”

“Do you think this war is over?”
