I wait anxiously for the whole afternoon, but Silver doesn’t show up. I keep wondering if I went too far when I called him out before. But even if I did, it isn’t like him to break his promise.
At the thought of that, I get even more worried. What if something happened to him? What if Zara somehow found out he was communicating with me and cursed him into sleep or did something even worse? Something that I don’t even want to think about.
I shake my head at myself. How can I be so silly? If Silver was dead, I would already know, because the bond would break. Isn’t it so? I bite my lip nervously, scratching my wrists. The spots under the chains are starting to itch me, and I can’t seem to reach them, no matter how hard I try.
I force myself to give up my attempts and close my eye
