~Rowan's POV
I looked over at Kael. His face was pale, sweat tracing down his temple. The pain of rejection hadn't been kind to either of us, and it showed in every breath we took. But still, I couldn't just sit there anymore, doing nothing. Damon needed us.
"Kael," I said quietly, my voice raspy from sleepless nights. "We can't keep sitting here. We have to do something."
He turned his head slightly toward me, eyes dull with exhaustion. "Do what, Rowan? We've tried everything."
I clenched my jaw, forcing myself to stand even though my legs trembled. "We have to her how sorry we are and that we mean it. We'll be at the entrance when Damon brings her back. She needs to see that we're sorry, that we're not the same anymore."
Kael stared at me for a long moment before groaning softly and pushing himself up with effort. "You think that will work?"
