Jasmine's POV
"The prince is coming to the human realm." Luis's voice cut through the phone like ice.
I froze. The words hit me like a physical blow. My grip tightened on the phone as I slowly rose from my chair. "You're certain?"
"Absolutely. I'm working to find out his reasons, but you need to stay alert."
I managed a nod he couldn't see. "I understand."
The line went dead. I stood there in my apartment, phone still pressed to my ear, my world suddenly tilting off its axis.
Jayden was really coming here.
My laptop sat forgotten on the coffee table, documents and emails abandoned. I tried to work, tried to focus on anything else, but concentration slipped through my fingers like sand.
Eventually I surrendered. I crawled into bed but sleep became my enemy. I twisted beneath the sheets, questions burning through my mind. What brought him here? What did he want? The hours stretched endlessly until dawn finally broke.
