Rose's POVBy the time evening hit, I was more than ready to see Rael's face once again.Once I had enough of the library, Adian had led me all the way back to my room before exiting. Hours had passed already and so I spent most of my time mindlessly scrolling through images and words I couldn't care for.Now in spite of my doubts, I was eager to see Rael again. With that, I was determined to leave the room.I slowly peeked out of my room - tentatively at first, before my confidence rose.I did so easily, stepping out into the hallway to take a deep breath. I was alone. Unlike earlier today, Adian wasn't there to stay with me. Yet as I looked around, my anxiety on moving out on my own slowly eased.There was no dankeh to attack me. I was safe.Tension bleeding away from my shoulders, I moved toward the dining area, where I expected that he was already there.I couldn't forget the slight reaction when I told him that I didn't want to go outside the day before. Thinking about it made m

Rael POVOnly the quiet rumble of the car followed me on the drive back to my company.My gaze remained fixated on the road ahead, on the city lights that passed through. None of it mattered when there were more important things to do.I left her whilst she was sleeping. The reminder of the peace on her face, the short sadness I saw earlier when talking about her parents…‘No. Now is not the time to be distracted, Rael.’ I fisted the car tighter to cut away my thoughts.I finally stopped, entering the nearest parking space before coming out.Now, it was time.Every second that passed increased the tension that floated through every part of my body as the elevator moved slowly. I took in deep breaths, stoking the anger that I needed for this.The weight of all I had to do came down in full force. How many times had others reached dead ends? How many times had we come up with nothing? Too many to count.But after Felicity's words, my mind was further drawn into determination.I was goi

Rose's POVIt had been three days.Three days since I wandered the place with solely Adian as my company. Three days since I wasn't allowed to hear from George or Lily or do so much as go to the other side. Three days since he left that night and hadn't come back since.It wasn't so difficult to count.I sighed against the plush softness of my mattress. I still caught up with Kayla and Jade. As they had promised, they were planning their visit during the weekend, which left two days more. I had made many attempts to clear my mind in anticipation, whether through reading or scrolling through the Internet and occasionally ranting at Adian. No matter how hard I tried, my head always went back to Rael.Our last meeting had been held on a cliffhanger and now three days had passed without hearing from him.Was he in the office? Had he travelled? Was there something wrong?Whether he was several miles away or a state away made no difference. He wasn't there, and I couldn't contact him.His

Rose’s POVI remained standing, completely intimidated by this hulk of a man that stood in front of me. Though relatively young, he looked slightly older - more mature compared to all the others I had been around, even Rael. It made it even more intimidating for me to face him. Not to mention his voice. His voice held the same commanding authority I heard in Rael. In spite of his different appearance, his aura held that commanding spirit. For a moment, I wondered if Rael and him were brothers but pushed the thought away for another day.His eyes were penetrating in an unnerving way. Although the arrogant tone wasn’t present, this only seemed full of much respect. That, coupled with his appearance, struck an even further sense of respect.Rael.Right. I had to know where on earth Rael had gone.I sucked in a breath before I spoke.“I'm looking for Rael. Adian brought me here because you'd know where he is,” I said.Inside, I winced. The way I phrased my words almost made it seem accus

Adian's POVEven hours after the fact, I remained tense.I hadn't needed to completely enter her room. A slight peek was enough to tell me that she was safe. Her soft breaths and steady heartbeat showed that she was asleep and wouldn't detect my presence. I wasn't blind to the nightmares she would have in the morning. Even though I heard them, I couldn't comfort her. I wasn't him after all and I was sure that my actions no matter how well meaning they were, wouldn't be taken.The least I did was to come by every afternoon to distract her. The shadows of fear which were once in her gaze faded away. Although now she was no longer in the same way, displaying slight worry and annoyance than the initial haunted look. It was a testament to her bravery.With a swift perusal of the room, there were no signs of shadows lurking behind the corners. No other heartbeats but hers.That was comfortable enough to close it, at ease that there weren't going to be any attacks. The soldiers standing by
