Chapitre 239: Chapter 239: Fergus

Fergus finally broke free of Liam, grasping a hold of me, green eyes locked on mine as his old face twisted into fear and deep regret. "I'm sorry," his voice climbed in volume as Liam desperately tried to hush him, glancing at the door. "I'm late, I know I'm late, but I have one more night, the Gate should still be closed. Why are you here? WHY ARE YOU HERE?" He shook me, harder and harder, forcing me to shove him away. My hand brushed his, skin on skin and Shaylee's power instantly swelled.

Fergus fell to his knees at my feet, wrapping his thin arms around my legs, sobbing. "Forgive me, Princess. I need to go home, are you here to take me home at last?" I stared down into his eyes, feeling frozen and useless, unable to comfort him, an unbearable longing in his gaze that made me want to cry along with him. "Please, I promise I will never fail you again if you just take me home."
