Chapter 44

• Jace's POV
• I finally opened my eyes and regretted it. For the first time in my life, I was extremely angry at waking up. The pain that coursed through me was unspeakable and so unbearable that my mind was hazed and every part of me numb as hot tears seared my eye sockets, pouring down profusely.
• The room was pitch black with no single source of light, making me wonder where I was. My first attempt to move my hands made me scream sharply as my skin seemed to be tearing. My brain quickly made a calculation and it dawned on me that I was tied so tightly to the chair I was sitting on.
