~ HENRY
The guards tossed me unceremoniously outside the palace courtyard.
Curses spewed from my lips but they ignored me, drawing the gates closed as they returned to their various posts.
A bitter pit swirled inside of me, coating the back of my throat with a bitter taste I'd come to familiarize with rage.
I should have known that Rowan would do some bullshit like that, he always liked to throw around his weight. I should have accounted for the possibility that he would do something stupid in front of Nyssa to try and prove that he was the stronger man.
With a huff, I pulled myself to my feet.
I heaved a sigh of relief when I saw that my phone wasn't damaged and dialed Ian. He was my only companion on this trip, and it was more for the sole purpose that I did not want to drive the whole damn way.
We were separated upon arrival at the palace. He was taken to some hotel while I was brought straight to see Nyssa.
