Chapter 31

• Ember had faced several enemies when she was still part of the King’s elite soldiers, and not even one of those fights actually made her scared. She knows how to fight and how to win the game. She’s not scared of pain or any kind of suffering, and she’s not afraid to face even the cruelest of enemies.
• But standing in front of the iron gates of Liam’s parent’s house, Ember could feel her knees wobble and her heart hammered inside her ribcage. She’s actually scared to face Esmeralda Ashdown alone.
• Ember swallowed hard as she tried to calm her raging heart. She can’t go inside with her heart beating this fast, Esme will be confused and would demand answers.
