Chapter 48

Cyrus

Eva had been missing for two days.

Two whole days.

Nobody saw her. Nobody had any idea where she could have gone. At this point, I was starting to feel like she was only a figment of my imagination. It felt like I was going insane.

How could she have vanished in the space of ten minutes?

That was how long I had been gone. Perhaps a few minutes longer.

Guilt was the one thing that I couldn’t shake off. If I had never left her by herself, then she wouldn’t have disappeared. I was starting to think now that perhaps she didn’t go willingly, that maybe she was taken.

Then again, it was impossible to tell because she never wanted to consummate the bond. She’d begged me to when she was in a very desperate state, but perhaps after doing that, she felt so guilty and repulsed that she had to leave?

I had no clue and no way of answering this question.

People had their own ideas of what might have happened. I paid attention to none and didn’t judge any of them because they didn’t know
