Chapter 57

• Althea was staring at nothing in particular as her mind reeled at the possibility that Darian had killed his mate. Why? No one knew, but according to her journal, Althea saw. It may be that Carolina had discovered something she shouldn't have.

• A distant nod was all Fiona received in response. Althea's thoughts were a tempest of confusion and disbelief, and Fiona wisely chose to give her friend some space.
