Travel To Doragon

[Ivan’s POV]

My gaze narrowed as I watched Arissa snuggle up to Nazhoni right in front of me. Sure, I knew that I probably deserved her cold shoulder after keeping something as big as the prisoners escaping from her. But did she really have to treat me as public enemy number one?

It had taken most of the previous evening to calm her down once I revealed the recent happenings, and when she allowed me to sleep next to her, I had thought that things were settled, but when we woke up this morning and packed to leave, she didn’t say a single word and even headed out before me. And when I finally managed to load up and join the rest of our party, this was how I found her. Snuggled against Nazhoni with a "you deserve this expression" on her face as she watched me seethe with jealousy.

As I continued to watch her, the carriage around us came to a jolting halt. Confusion flaring, I got up and prepared to investigate what was happening, but stopped as arrows burst through the windows around us.
