‘I’ll leave you to think.’
Think about what?
The reason I’ve been captured and beaten by a crowd of thugs? I don’t need to think about that. Yet… he said I’m here because of my family—no—he said ‘all of this’ was because ofmy family.
Okay, so maybe I do need to think.
But my head hurts, and I’m parched. I need water, and there’s no way on earth I’m drinking anythingtheygive me. I bite back a sob when I think of Calix, knowing how much he must be hurting right now without me. Pain throbs in my chest without him near, and I know this will be killing him.
If he’s still alive.
I’m freezing, my skin prickling with goosebumps, my heart in my throat. I just heard a voice in my head I don’t recognize. But it issomeone, right? Hope builds within me.
Who are you?
There isn’t an answer straight away, and I begin to wonder if I’ve imagined it. Maybe I have because it feels like forever until the voice sounds again.
Just a woman.
A woman?My head reels.A captured woman?
I lick my dry lips.
Please talk to me. I don’t know where I am or why I have been taken. What do you know?
There’s another long pause, and I wonder if the woman is still there. How does she know about Calix?
My name is Azra. I don’t know where we are, but I know why we’ve been taken. Well, us anyway. I’m not sure about you. You’re the Seer.
Tears of relief prick my eyes. I’m so gladsomeonecan hear me. I need to know how she knows Calix.
Do you know my mate, Calix?
Another pause.
Everyone knows Calix. His mother is here.
I know this. I need more; I don’t know how long we have.
Who are these people?
I hope she can tell me.
We don’t know. We were hoping you could tell us. He seems very excited to have you here.
I close my eyes, rest my head against the stone wall, and try not to cry.
Why is he excited to havemehere? Is he going to try to force me to see the future?I can’t force my visions!I have them whenever—there’s no pattern.
If it’s not to impregnate me or to use my power, what else is it?
The only thing I can think of is my family. He said it’s about my family.
Do you know anything about him?I beg, praying the woman is still there. The universe answers me, and I almost weep.
He’s a sick fuck. That’s all we know. Please help us.
