Chapitre 14: Chapter 14

The thief.

"It was a pleasure doing business with you, shifter girl," general Zishan says, holding my mother's necklace in his hand. I can't believe I'm doing this, giving away something that's worth more than anything else I've ever owned - it's priceless to me.

I wait for him to hand me the stones while an incredible sadness washes over me.

It's a huge sacrifice and after everything that's happened, I need to make sure Sebastian doesn't come back first. I made a promise to myself I would do anything to avenge my parents.

The general goes back to his desk and opens the button drawer. He takes out three shiny stones. The crystals are blue, red and white. Their energy swells through me, similar to a blazing, ball of electricity-I'm instantly showered with warm and fuzzy feelings. It's a small conciliation for what I'm forced to give up in exchange.
