It was more than ridiculous that the wolf and Delice had been missing for as long as they had. Valerick had decided to lead a search for them himself when a messenger had come to tell him of Nicholas’ summon.
Nicholas would never summon him if he could come himself.
It had to be Zezi.
His mind raced with madness as he could feel a dull sense of pain trickle in through the bond.
He raced to the room, shouting her name before he could even see her. “Zezi! Ze—-“
“I’m here, I’m fine,” she said from the bed where she laid. There were nurses around her and Nicholas was in the room.
He sat at the edge of the bed and held her hand. “Is it time?” He asked, his question directed to Nicholas, his voice infused with worry. “Or is something wrong?”
