Chapter 932: Chapter 148 : Return to the Dark Realm

Scarlett, my mother, and I went straight to the palace in the capital, where Xander and Lena got us set up in guest rooms. I got the baby down in a bassinet and Scarlett read me the most recent letter Archer had sent her.

“Still no mention of Jared,” Scarlett said with a sigh. She folded the letter and tucked it in her pocket.

“It’s okay,” I said as I opened my suitcase and started unpacking.

As much as I wanted to rush back to Midnight Sun, I took Lena’s words to heart. Jared had real concerns for the baby’s safety. Just showing up out of the blue might have been a mistake.

“I just wish he would tell us something! I mean… any kind of hope for you would be ideal.”

“Scarlett, I appreciate your concern. Jared and I will see each other again and we can figure it all out then.”

“You’re handling this a lot better than I would be.”

“I have new strength now, new focus.” I glanced at the bassinet and smiled at my baby’s sleeping face.

“I understand.”
