And with that, the woman set him free, and Nate tucked her into his side to help her find her way out of there.

Both Julian and Lucian escorted them to the door, and when they were gone, Julian was curious.

“Did you consider leaving at all? Because Ridge would have followed. We know what you said, but…being the next Oracle had to have some pull.”

“TREY!”
