Redemption

Aden turned to us and I will never forget the look that he had on his face, not even if I lived for all of eternity. It was more than terror. No words could properly describe it. It sent shivers all over my body. Max tightened his grip on my shoulder, trying to ease the tremors that it was causing.
“Alzar has found us.”
We all knew that this was coming sooner or later, but none of us expected it to be this soon. Somehow, Alzar had discovered our underground hiding place and now Max is in more danger than I had first thought. Max had done well at hiding his true purpose from Alzar before, but now he would be treated like a traitor to his kind. Only Max knows what the punishment for that crime will be.
