Chapter 28

Damon's POV

Torrance and Nalia returned with wonderful news. They're able to track down the traces of the transport the witches used to take Leena. I have to come up with a plan of action that doesn't involve charging in full force.

We still don't know what will be waiting for us, so I have to be careful with what I do. I sent Torrance in his raven form to scout the area so I knew what we would be working with.

It's been a few hours since I last seen him and I'm growing more concerned as each minute passes. Finally, I hear the familiar tapping sound of his beak.

Torrance flies in quickly and transforms hastily to where he's still got black feathers in different places. I've never seen him this whacked out.

"Torrance, what's going on? Did you find her?"

He's quivering all over, but manages to nod his head. "M-m-majesty! Its Lancaster. He's alive and he has Leena."

My heart drops to my stomach and I can hear a distant ringing in my ears. That's not possible. I ripped his heart out.
