Chapter 89 Grim

GRIM

Grim was not prepared for the wave of pain and heartbreak that hit him when Cronan killed Isla. He watched her limp body fall to the ground, and his very soul seemed to shatter upon impact.

At first, Grim thought it was because their lives were bound and he was dying.

But when Isla’s body stirred . . . when that broken bone snapped back into place . . . Grim realized the answer was much more complicated.

This surge of anguish and rage and regret was all his own. All for her.

She was alive.

And though it seemed like centuries since he had grinned, he couldn’t stop the slow smile from stretching across his face as he realized what she had done.
