to leave?”

“No,” he said, his voice hoarse. The last hours had been torture, not knowing what was going on.

Not knowing if Sabrina would survive the Elders’ wrath. He closed his eyes. Just a few more

minutes. She would be here soon and he could hold her and see for himself that she was okay. “Was

your relationship with Anna this stressful?”

Alex chuckled. “In some ways. Being locked away in a foreign country, knowing she thought I
