Yet, the atmosphere inside was anything but warm.Kaelan stood in the center of the hall, his back straight and his gaze lowered. His expression was as stoic as ever, but unease churned within him. Seated on the leather sofa before him was Elias Carter, Liora’s father. His sharp gaze was as piercing as a blade, a half-finished cup of coffee resting in his hand.Elias set the cup down slowly, his eyes narrowing as they fixed on Kaelan.“Kaelan,” his deep, authoritative voice filled the room, “I trust you understand your duty.”Kaelan raised his head, taking a steadying breath as he tried to keep his tone calm. “Yes, sir.

The communication was abruptly cut, leaving Kaelan standing alone in the night wind, his mind a turmoil of emotions.When he returned to the safe house, Kaelan removed his trench coat, draping it over a chair, but his gaze remained fixed on the w
