I stood in the midst of the chaos confused as to why Harald was here. My eyes did a quick scan of the crowd my gaze desperately searching for Ivan but there was no sign of him which meant Harald came alone. Why would he show up alone though? Did Ivan know about this and sent him? My mind raced through with series of question as I stared at Harald who stared at me with a somber expression on his face. It was then it hit me like a dagger to my chest.
They failed! They had failed in their mission! The weight of the truth crashed down upon me, threatening to suffocate my spirit. The betrayal ran deep cutting through the bonds of friendship and trust. It seems our worst fears have finally been confirmed, he was here to take me to Azar in exchange for his wife. I wanted to get mad at him, I wanted to be angry at him but I couldn't. Because Freya's life was in danger and I was the only silver thread of hope he has in saving his wife.
