Chapter 211

Valerie POV

Viktor had left.

He had gone off to war without looking back, and I had just sat there on the ground and wept bitterly. I had broken down completely, my heart heavy, and no matter how much anyone called me, I didn’t answer.

Ronan looked flushed, trying to convince me that Viktor would be fine and that I didn’t need to worry. The king can’t die, he had said, but I didn’t stop crying.
