BLAKE
“You love me?” she asked. There was hope in her eyes.
ZAIRE I wanted to hug Margery and tell her it would be okay, but after what happened in the dungeon I doubt that’s the most appropriate thing at the moment.
CONNOR A week has gone by and Louve was feeling better according to Zaire. She was still upset at Alpha Jedrick, and even dinner nights were awkward. Her parents were finally able to return to their home since there haven't been any more rogue attacks, but we were still alert.
BLAKE I transported back to the spirit world, only to find my Father standing in front of the cloud with his arms folded on his chest and a scowl on his face. The rogues were holding Athena as she mouthed a ‘sorry’ under her breath.

MARGERY “Are you sure it was a good idea to have brought those kids here, Margery?” Mom asked, handing me a tray of breakfast for Blake.
ZAIRE Did they really work for Adryan all this time? There was no way they could have worked for Dad and him not suspect anything.
CONNOR Zaire was excessively upset, and I haven’t seen this side of her ever. Knowing Jedrick has lied to her and I couldn’t say I blamed her for sending him down to the dungeon. But there was something in her eyes, it was a rage burning inside her.
ZAIRE I missed school today, and I had to say, it was good that I did. Exhaustion had taken over my body and all I wanted was to rest. Connor came to check on me before he left for school, leaving me with the maid who had brought me some delicious breakfast.
