Chapter 20

Michael traced Claudia’s step out of Spec u s into Paradisus . He waited anxiously when he could n ’t find her there, unaware of the hidden world beyond the waterfall. After what felt like a lifetime, he was able to trace her steps and felt relief she was no longer in the hands of Callum. He followed her again, but kept his distance. Knowing she would be safe for the time being, he flew back to Caspian.

When he arrived, guessing she would return to Island of Eden, he used his ultra-vision to see Claudia hanging out with venators. I t was difficult to hear with the music blasting, but he could tell she didn ’t seem happy when she stormed out of the room. Wanting to give her space, he leaped onto the top of the roof. Glancing around, he stood among the watchers. They stood bold and tall, bigger and taller than him. He felt sorry for them, but at the same time, it was their own doing.

Such feeling s of torment ran to every nerve in his body and immobilized him. His heart was hurting so badly from th e sight that he wished he hadn ’t follow ed her t here. Darkness and anger fell upon his soul , and the pain of what he ’d s een was unbearable. All hopes of getting her back crashed along with the waves on the shore. He felt as if he had already lost her and wanted to take flight to escape.
