Chapter 169 See You Again

• Emory
• After breakfast, the Nightstones don’t want to delay getting back to Nightfall. They carefully transport Lydia out of the castle and into one of their vehicles parked in the courtyard. Coit is going to leave with them and stay at Nightfall while Lydia is under the sleeping potion. I can’t blame him for wanting to be close to his mate after being away from her for so long.
• Coit has his hands in the pockets of his borrowed jacket. His shoulders are slumped as he looks down at the ground. I’m reminded of a younger version of my brother when he’d had to apologize for something that he’d done. He looks guilty.
