Chapter 64: Chapter 64

There was a creeping lethargy seeping into my limbs. I couldn't lift my hands or focus enough to use either my psychic or magical talents. I started to slide down the back of the couch.

"It will wear off soon, I promise," Dylan whispered as he caught me and laid me down gently. "You're going to be okay, Seren."

"You traitor," I whispered while I could still speak.

"Technically, I'm a double agent," he clarified. "I was a traitor when I left the Unseelie Court; this is redemption."

A ringing came from a panel near the elevator, and Dylan glanced over his shoulder at it. Then he looked back at me sadly, gave me a gentle kiss on the cheek, and got up to go to the intercom. He pushed a button on it and spoke quickly. Then he went to the elevator and pushed a button there before he turned to face me once more.

"This will all be over soon." He smiled reassuringly. "Try not to upset yourself."
