A Little Braver - 72

So, as promised here we are with ch. 72 The first part is still quite angsty but then I swear it gets better and I promise the angst is officially over. I have nothing but fluff planned until ch 75 and then the epilogue. This was the last bit of drama.

A savage scream left Rowan’s lungs.

He was about to bolt for the building but Fenrys who probably had an inkling what he wanted to do blocked him.

“Rowan, you cannot go inside.”

He trashed in Fen’s arms as he kept screaming Aelin’s name and shaking his head. She could not die like that, could not leave him. Rowan tried to get free once more but Fenrys kept shouting at him to stop.

“Let me go,” he shouted once more he looked up at the inferno with blurry vision from the tears now flowing in full force “She can’t leave me…”

Fenrys thanked his firefighter training that allowed him to keep Rowan still. The last thing he needed was for him to rush inside and get himself killed “Ro, please. You cannot go inside.”
