Chapter 460: Chapter 460

A knock came on the door. Jorick pressed a kiss to the back of her hand, then pulled loose to answer it.

Ume stepped inside with a nervous smile. "I wondered if Katelina would come with me to see Fethillen?"

Katelina's first thought was, "Why me?" but she swallowed it down and managed a halfhearted smile. "Sure." She glanced at Jorick and he shrugged.

The women headed to the elevator in silence. Katelina tried to think of something to say and finally managed, "They let her go already?"

"No. She's in the dungeon."

Dungeon. The word conjured terrifying memories for Katelina. An exposed brain full of needles. Half-starved vampires staring from behind bars. The sharp smell of disinfectant. Jorick had said it was an effect of the drugs, but-

"I didn't know you could visit people there."

Ume nodded. "I got the idea from Loren. He visited Micah last time. The information desk was happy to explain it to me."
