The king nodded once. Then, rising to his feet, he walked to the door. Opening it just a crack, he gave the order.
“Arrest Archer Gray and David Lake.”
The words sent a cold chill over me. A choked sound escaped my lips as a sudden sob rose in my throat, and I tried to swallow it down.
Alexander’s hand found mine, his grip steady and reassuring. I covered my mouth and lowered my eyes, struggling to reel in the powerful emotions crashing over me.
I could hardly believe it.
It was over.
David was going to be arrested.
What happened next was something of a blur. Dr. McIntyre was led out of the room, and somehow, I felt confident that she wouldn’t be harmed. She had agreed to cooperate, and the information she possessed was too valuable to risk losing.
