Victor’s POV
“So that’s it?” I called after her, unwilling to have her leave just yet.
I didn’t want her to leave like this, I didn’t want her to leave at all. I had come out here because Axel had called to me, told me that he saw Tara and Tanner on their way out of their rooms finally and toward the gardens.
I had wanted to speak to her ever since she came here, alone, but she was either in the council meeting room or held up in her own room with her cousins. There wasn’t a chance for me to actually speak to her, so when Axel called me through the mindlink and told me as much, I grasped the opportunity.
I knew it was a bad idea, but I had to see her.
But when I got here and saw that she was speaking to Axel, the tone of her voice, the position of her stance, it told me all I needed to know about what was happening. Axel was having one of those moments again, where he would stare at the moon, where he would be a million miles away from the rest of us and the world.
