Chapter 50 Pt. 2

"What have you become?" *** Kevin and I finally got back to the manor after an hour of traveling. Fortunately, we'd managed to stay off the radar of anyone who might be searching for us. Cyrena met us by the door. Her cerulean eyes swept over him in mild curiosity. "You must be Kevin Hale." Her tone was curt. "And you must be the infamous Cyrena Damaris." He offered a smile. "Lord Kevin Hale." I mouthed to her. She forced a smile but didn't correct herself. Naturally, she wasn't too eager to be working alongside Origens she didn't know. Garrett and Demetri had saved our lives, but Kevin had yet to prove himself to her. "Kevin, Cyrena was my greatest friend at the Spade castle." "Was?" Cyrena pretended to pout. "I'm hurt, Bettie." "You know what I mean." I nudged her shoulder and her face brightened in a smile. Once her eyes found Kevin again, the smile flickered and faded.
