Chapter 264
---- NARRATOR As Gabrielles feet crossed the threshold of the door, her entire body underwent a profound
transformation.
Her simple, mud-stained clothes morphed into an exquisite red gown, like the ones she used to wear when she
was the sovereign and ruler of the throne.
Her long black hair cascaded down her back, gleaming, and the bandage on her beautiful face disappeared,

She was the perfect image of her past self at its finest, and although Gabrielle knew it was all part of Zarek's

His eyes flicked to Celines pale neck and then to her clouded, fear-filled gaze.
