Chapter 272

• Astrid
• “Mom, please,” I utter softly in a pleading voice as I sit weakly on the ground, still tied up. I hope Kai has noticed that I'm missing and is coming to get me. The woman standing in front of me has lost her mind, totally.
• I should never have left the house and maybe I should have left with Gunner and Thane, now I understand why Kai always insists that I leave with a guard. It's never safe and my own mother is the one who kidnapped me.
