Chapter 144

• JEAN's POV
• I carried Ember away from Paris, hoping to put as much distance between Ember and Paris. I was not kidding when I told him he had done enough. In truth, all he had ever caused Ember was unending pain. And now, she wouldn't wake up.
• I looked down at her sleeping form and felt a deep ache within me. She was no longer pale or clammy, but she still would not wake up, and I cursed myself over a thousand times for being so caught up in my fight with Paris that I had not paid attention to her when she ended me too.
