Dorran shoved his fingers into his pockets. “Sure. He agreed to attend till you healed—,”

“How lengthy have I been asleep?”

“Two days,” he answered.

Rubbing my eyes with the heels of my palms, I tried to maintain my feelings collectively.

How heartless was this man?

Dorran went to console me, however I turned to face the kitchen. If he touched me, I’d cry, and I didn’t wish to cry.

The entrance door opened. “Amara, you’re up? You shouldn’t be up—,”

“I’m tremendous,” I mentioned, turning again to face Dorran after a number of seconds. “What number of warriors did we lose?”

Dorran closed his eyes. “Seventy-five. My father has kicked Gideon off the guard and is making an attempt to punish Toby for serving to me.”

Toby scoffed. “He’s delusional if he thinks I’m going to desert all of you—,”

“You’ll get kicked out of the dominion, Toby,” Dorran mentioned over his shoulder. “Or worse. I can’t stay understanding you misplaced your house due to me.”

This wasn’t Dorran or Toby’s fault. None of it was. They had been being punished due to me.

Zerk touched my arm and didn’t let go after I tried to maneuver away. “We have to change your bandage and put extra drugs on. All that drama will likely be there afterward.” Zerk lifted an eyebrow, daring me to say no. “Come on.”

He helped me onto the desk, whereas Dorran hovered over me like a helicopter mum or dad. Zerk pulled my costume up and started to tug off the bandage. My fingers curled across the desk on the sight.

“Is it contaminated?” I whispered.

Zerk started to wash the wound. “Sure. There was one thing on the blade that he stabbed you with. No matter it was induced it to turn out to be contaminated.”

Glancing up at Dorran, I watched the anger dance throughout his face and his jaw twitch as he tightened it. “Are you able to repair it?”

Zerk reached over to his bag and pulled out an ointment. “I feel I discovered one thing that ought to wipe out the an infection. If not, I’ll name some buddies I do know which will assist.”

Zerk used a cotton swab to place the medication on and it stung. Then he fastidiously bandaged me up. Silence adopted as Dorran helped me from the desk.

“Are you hungry?” he requested.

“I wish to discuss to your father.”

Toby scoffed from the opposite room. “Good luck with that. He’s holed up in his workplace plotting our demise.”

Dorran watched me stroll to the kitchen cupboard and seize a mug. “I don’t need you anyplace close to the citadel, Amara.”

I caught the mug below the espresso machine whereas sliding the pod into the highest. “Nicely, I didn’t ask.”

Silence enveloped the room.

I saved my gaze on the espresso because it poured into my mug, and listened as Dorran requested, “Can I converse with Amara alone?”

Zerk cleared his throat. “Watch out, Dorran. She’s nonetheless therapeutic.”

The door closed seconds later.

Dorran’s breath hit the again of my neck, and he barricaded me towards the counter, bracing a palm on all sides of me. “Amara,” he whispered. “I do know you’re upset, however I’m telling you to not converse to my father. I don’t know what he’ll do to you.”

A smug a part of me thought I might take him on, however not with this stab wound in my facet. “The place are we going to go?” I whispered.
