CHAPTER 444
~Kaid's POV~
The moment Zara left for the bath, I paced the room like a caged animal. Every instinct in me screamed that we shouldn't be waiting.
Davion was up to something. I knew it.
But Zara… She had been through too much today. I saw it in the way her shoulders slumped, in the way she held herself together with sheer willpower.
Still, I wouldn't trust that bastard dragon even if the gods themselves told me to.
One hour.
That was all the time Davion had.
If he delayed even a second longer… I'd tear this palace apart to get that damn scale myself.

~Zara's POV~
It was already close to two hours when Davion finally sent for us. I was beyond frustrated, but I let myself be led to the dining room.
Kaid's earlier promise rang in my head—that if Davion played any more games, he'd act.
I was both looking forward to him acting out on those words and still scared of the extent to which he'd actually take them.
