I turn to Skylenna to see if she noticed it too. However, I’m even more surprised when I see an expression of wide eyes and open mouths mirrored from Skylenna all the way down to Marilynn. And they’re all staring at me.
I look down the hallway to try and find the source of that voice. Why are they freaking out? Do they know who it is?
“We put a type of magnet in your ears,” the voice drags on. “Any sign of disobedience and it will disrupt your equilibrium.”
Right on cue, Niles falls to the ground, reaching out his hands as if to keep the room from spinning.
“What in God’s name…” Skylenna utters, but something tells me she isn’t concerned about the most recent obstacle the faceless man has just presented us with.
“I bet you’re wondering who I am?” The voice sounds three steps closer.
I strain my eyes to find him.
“Although, Dessin seems more interested in learning where we are so he can begin making his ten-step-ahead plan on how to escape.”
I lock my jaw. “Only cowards hide in the shadows,” I growl.
“I wasn’t born here, you know…” His footsteps echo along the walls. “Sophia didn’t even get to hold me in her arms when the nurse took me away and brought me here.”
Kane has abandoned the front completely. Leaving Kalidus to remain close, quiet, and seething.
Ice fills my veins.Sophia. That—thathasto be a coincidence.
But the look on Skylenna’s face says otherwise.
“You don’t recognize your own voice, do you?”
I flinch. No. I shake my head.No.
“Dessin?” Skylenna shifts her focus back to me with tears welling in her eyes.
The man steps into the dim red-and-yellow lights, revealing his face. White noise fills my ears, and every muscle is pumped full of adrenaline. My face. Only he has a full beard and is wearing black eyeliner.
“My name is Kaspias Valdawell. Welcome to the Vexamen Prison.”
