S-Sacrifice? My body shook in horror. The Order wants to sacrifice my baby?
I sucked in breath, gripping my bodice tightly.
"The Endless is yet to be born, and time is of the essence. Patience was never the foundation of the Order."
Corvin was suddenly next to me.
"You carry the Endless in your womb; they won't wait until the cries are heard."
"I'll be the sacrifice," I mumbled in a gripping realization that unleashed a state of terror within me.
"Correct. The Order might already be here to claim their prize."
Did he come to warn me? Is that why he's telling me all this?
He was exposing everything about this Order. He may not belong as he claimed, but he was still a warlock.
I peered at him from the corner of my eye, forcing myself to speak even though the words felt heavy in my mouth. "You said you're neutral."
