    Jack swallowed hard at 1df3bb8054 Serena’s chilling smile.20c023bcd1c943c5

    It was a 36535882a9 smile he had 69017a6d76 seen before—the same 4988bdcf68 one she had a32aa3e825 given when she ff1c0a312f blocked his attempt bb897126ce to leave the ac7f0c9c60 inn despite his 7eef87bd74 injuries, her sharp d81d22a51d gaze insisting on af422cbaa4 complete rest.b2c259cc8a6651a3

    Of course, this time 86486d0db9 it was even more d471633bf2 frightening, to the point 3f25aa0396 that Jack almost felt bd9abc9c22 a little sorry for 2347b02502 Azaid.27e0bae717d490e7

    Serena was far more e2cb8d313e furious than he had d26db87156 anticipated. In fact, he had 9938b68cbb hoped she’d never find 45205e8937 out about today’s events, 92757e5f4e and even if she 20bbffd376 did, he hadn’t expected 9e837a148b this level of anger.f1d4dc545c4a217a

    What was 92afd7249c stranger still 028cd07791 was that, 32e082132a despite her efee3792da fury being 7d939e2b40 over his 7f3a869be4 safety, he 4da0ea6bf3 didn’t entirely be739e233f dislike it.ba96507ea3318c70

    As Azaid e7fe6a6c7d wrestled with 55cefb6992 his confusion, 3ce4795364 Serena was e1ea35ee9d on the 7be215c8c8 verge of a38d7cc3e5 losing her 9c1208a178 mind.5bf956efc6fff0d2

    Serena stopped her 5e2452d7d6 questioning and touched b53bc9eb75 Azaid’s cheek, which 2e61b1454d felt slightly warmer 520ae5029e than usual. Worried, she 22f27d3409 asked, “What’s dbcbbc53d0 wrong? Are you feeling 25df5656cb unwell?”68f3ed4be2837500
