Chapter 28
Kael's POV
Laura forgave her that easily?.That didn't sit right with me.
I had known Laura for years, long enough to understand how she worked, and forgiveness was never something she gave out so freely, especially not when she felt wronged. And from what I had seen, Tori had crossed lines she shouldn't have crossed more than once.
So no, something about it felt off.
I paced around the room, my thoughts refusing to settle as time dragged on longer than it should have. It was just a hike, nothing complicated, nothing dangerous if they had followed the proper trail, and by now, they should have been back.
Unless they weren't where they were supposed to be. That thought alone made my jaw tighten.
A few moments later, the door creaked open slowly, pulling my attention toward it immediately. Laura stepped in, her movements slower than usual, and instinctively, my gaze shifted behind her.
No one else followed. Tori wasn't behind her. Where the hell was she then?
