Meanwhile, in a chamber several meters above the dungeon….
Irene lay on her back, staring silently at the ceiling as her thoughts wandered.
Then she felt this sudden sensation as her eyes widened.
For a moment, Irene barely moved, almost afraid she was imagining the sensation.
But there was no mistaking it. Dragons could sense their kin on a level most other races could not, especially when the bond was as close as blood.
Irene abruptly sat upright, the surprise in her eyes unlike anything.
Ethan was here.
He was somewhere nearby. And if he was, then her husband was here as well, and they had come to get her as he promised.
The realization sent her heart pounding, but the sudden movement also drew the attention of the dragon stationed outside the chamber.
Xygias, the Lightning Dragon, turned toward her at once. His gaze settled on Irene through the entrance, watching her closely.
Irene was powerful in her own right, and the Dragon Emperor knew that.
