The Traitor Within

(Kaelen’s POV)

Papers blurred in front of me, my pen slipping from my hand and hitting the desk. The sharp sound pulled me back.

I let out a shaky breath and leaned back, tapping my fingers against the chair’s armrest.

Every moment reminded me of what I could lose… my home, my crown, my family. And Neva.

The only woman I have ever loved.

Her face flashed in my mind. The way she looked at me.
