Chapter 7 Seven

• Evana's POV
• The walls feel tighter today. The lavish room, adorned with silk drapes and polished mahogany, is nothing more than a gilded cage. My fingers tighten around the bedsheet as I stare at the door, waiting. I’ve been waiting since the last time I saw them—my mates. Luciano and Sebastian. The ones who are supposed to claim me are the ones who now keep me locked away like a secret.
• A soft knock comes and then the door creaks open. Susan steps inside balancing a silver tray with a plate of food and a glass of water. She’s always the one to come always the one to act as the bridge between me and them but she is no substitute.
