Lena’s POV
The inn felt colder after Finn’s words set in, the weight of his warning hanging between us like a dense cloud. “You need to leave. Now.” Those words repeated in my thoughts, whirling with a sensation of dread that threatened to strangle me.
I gazed at Finn, trying to make sense of what he’d just said. His look was enough to throw me—he was pale, untidy, and unlike the confident, collected person I’d always known. Something had changed. His eyes darted around, as if expecting someone to break in at any minute, and his hands shook at his sides.
Alex was the first to break the stillness. “What are you talking about, Finn? What’s happening?” His tone was cool, but there was an edge of urgency that told me he wasn’t going to let this drop without answers.
