other will just make it worse.”
    “Okay.” I took an uncomfortable glance down at my food to the topic of this conversation. “I can understand that.”
    “It was too hard for Jaylyn to stay. She left last night. I just stayed behind so you could be told.”
    “Okay. Hopefully it won’t have to be long.”
    “Yeah. I hope so too and I’m sure you can find us if we’re needed.”
    I nodded and neither of us could seem to get out anything else to each other and Ruby left.
    I sat still and heard the door close. I was truly alone now but it didn’t seem like it helped much. My mind was being my worst enemy and wouldn’t leave me in any kind of peace. I felt the coming days hitting hard already. I only hoped I could survive them.
    Four days went by and I didn’t know if it was working at all. At least it wasn’t for me. I spent most of my time alone and my nights were spent next to Ryon just so I could get some sleep but it still seemed restless. He held me in his arms like I liked but it wasn’t the same. He wasn’t Zayden. I couldn’t find the strength to be with him intimately because my last experience still haunted me and I knew he started to notice.

    Her mood was always low even though she tried to act happy when I was around but I saw right through it.
    I knew about her attachment to Zayden and how she gave in but I couldn’t confront her about it to end this chain of lies. I wasn’t allowed to. I wanted to but maybe I wasn’t ready to have that conversation with her just yet. I knew what it would lead to. Instead, I just tried to make my time with her worth it.
    I knew they were coming. The day was getting close and I would lose her for good just as soon as Zayden stepped back into the picture. I didn’t want that to happen. I just wanted everything to be like when we were happy. I wanted everything to be back the way it was before she left. I just wanted her back, fully and felt I would do anything to get it. I’d do anything for her. Whatever she wanted she’d get but that sometimes would just upset me more. I knew what she wanted and it wasn’t me. She could never love me the way I love her with Zayden always being thought of first and I hated him for it. I almost couldn’t wait to see him in our lands and reflect off my hate. I spent the days thinking of it, how great it would be, knowing it would be soon.
    I saw them coming. It was only a matter of time. I tried staying a step behind them whenever I could; only being able to dream about stopping them from coming at all. I knew what I will truly lose then and just tried to spend every second with Adele that she would allow.

    The days drifted by slowly but we at last reached the walls of Dorlin. We could see it in the distance. The fires of the city were lighting up the night sky. It seemed beautiful just knowing we made it. We were close. Our days apart haven’t exactly been easy. We fought hard to get here and couldn’t wait to see the surprise on their faces. We missed them.
    “How do we get in?” Troy asked. “Surely we can’t use the front gate.”
    “No. They would notice for sure with the white horses under us. It’ll have to be the wall somewhere. I remember Adele once saying that their manor lies against the northern wall.”
    “Then we know our entry point.” Darius said.
    “Yes, but it’s the where that I’m unsure off.”
    “We’ll find it.” Troy replied, his eyes peering towards the city with Jaylyn most likely on his mind. “We have to.”
    “We’ll go around.” I started to lead my horse out to the north. “We don’t want to be spotted by the patrolling guards.”
    We disappeared deep into the trees north of the city but kept the wall in our sight. We were able to travel west a distance along the northern wall, searching for the perfect entry.
    “Sense anything?” Darius asked.
    I shook my head and
