ONYX
My heart sank. No, God, please, no. Not Nero!
Guilt washed over me in waves, each new wave worse than the previous one. I was suffocating, and my head started buzzing like I had just witnessed an explosion.
I had one purpose today, one goal! And it was to protect Nero! What was I thinking, allowing myself to get distracted like that?
"Onyx, I will take you back," Ruhn stretched his hands towards me impatiently, but I shook my head.
"No, I am not going back until I know Nero is safe!" I told him plainly, and something changed in his eyes.
I bit my lip, blaming my own stupidity once again. How could I forget about him so easily?
"Onyx, you didn't want to leave Nero before–"Ruhn was choosing his words carefully. "By any chance… Do you know anything?"
I swallowed uncomfortably.
