Chapitre 32: Chapter 32: Power Upgrade

Nelos

Inside the infirmary, I pace as Shaye lays on one of the prison cots. My nails dig into my palms as I clench my fists tighter. The monster in me senses my distress and growls deep in my chest. I can't let him out though. Not here... not now. Only reason I'm allowed in here is because the nurse is sweet on me.

My gaze darts back to Shaye who is pale as snow and not moving.

The arena. The fights to the bloody victory. I can't believe the Warden put helpless Shaye in there. My Shaye.

I try to shove down my rage, but it's building an inferno inside me. They will pay if she doesn't recover from this. I will soak the walls of this prison in their blood.

Shaye coughs and I'm at her side, holding her hand. Slowly she opens her bright, blue eyes and I'm so happy that she's awake and that I'm here for her that I nearly shout in joy and relief.

"Where- what happened?"
