Sadie POV
I stare at Thorn and then at Serena who has the knife at her throat. The bastard minister clears his throat and makes no move to say anything as Thorn demands he hurries up the ceremony. I feel panicked, the walls feel like they are closing in. Several guards stand at the doors, blocking off any hope of escape. Serena is making no move to struggle, her eyes welling with tears. Not that I expect her to fight or to risk her life for a complete stranger, not after everything she's had to endure.
Toffee what do we do? We can't fight our way out and there are too many guards to try and run. We're literally helpless with these bloody cuffs I hissed, barely listening to a word the minister is saying.
Keep calm Sadie. If you start to panic, he'll sense it and use it to his advantage
