“Yes, but if possible, we want to also know if any other of those families are involved.” Rajin tapped the top of the table. “It’s one thing if it was only Renson, but if there are others involved it would prove a theory I have right.”
“And what exactly is that theory?” Lanias asked.
He shrugged. “Whoever this Lord is, he’s powerful enough to stir others to actions. Specifically, powerful people like members of the Ring of Syed. Which leads me to believe he’s someone who’s in an influential position.”
Lanias didn’t agree or disagree, she only gave a short nod.
Oye shrugged. “Okay, capture Asher and spy on some warlocks. Got it.”
At her words Castian shook his head. “It’s not as easy as you think pulling information from these people.”
Clicking her tongue in annoyance. “I wasn’t saying it would be easy. I’m saying the mission all together isn’t a headache. There is however one part of it that’s going to be an issue.”
He turned to fully face her. “Oh, and what’s that?”
The two glared at each other. Completely forgetting that they weren’t alone.
She smiled, “Having to do the mission with you.”
“And here I was thinking the same exact thing.” Castian didn’t want to be alone with the single woman who’d sent him spiraling. Even now he could feel the demon scratching at the corners of his mind, demanding to see her, to feel her. Her bright metallic eyes burned with anger.
“Beautiful.”
He dropped his eyes from hers, only to pause on her lips before he grew irritated and turned away. “Either way, we both have a duty to fulfill our roles," he said this more to himself, than her and met Raijin curios stare.
“When do we leave,” he asked.
Tiller answered instead. “Tomorrow. Everything should be prepared; the shadows will follow you to ensure your travels are safe and there is no interference.”
“Sounds like a plan,” Lanias said as she stood up. The chair she’d been sitting in reverted to its original state. “I hope that we both gain what it is we are looking for.”
Tiller narrowed his eyes on her. “Without the Council finding out of course.”
“Of course,” Lanias said, her eyes sparkling with amusement. “Though with the way we marched through the council building, it would be hard for you to give a good enough reason to welcome a witch into said building.”
“Not at all. I already told them that I needed to interview the sister of the witch who nearly destroyed the entire building.” Tiller said, with a tone full of arrogance. “Your sister has opened up many possibilities for me with her actions.”
Lanias eyes narrowed on him, “Let’s ensure that’s all her reputation is doing.”
With that she walked out.
Oye shot the stoic warlock one more glance, before she followed her cousin out. She would be alone with him for the next few days. She wasn’t sure what she would do if he lost control like he’d done before. After all she had little patience with pushy guys, and their demons. And Castian definitely had demons.
She steeled herself, she shouldn’t concern herself with him and only focus on her mission.
Which was finding Eliza.
BETRAYAL
CASTIAN
The minute the door shut behind the witches. Castian relaxed back against the wall. He hadn’t counted on having such an issue staying focused. Oye was like an iron fire that drew his attention, he was hard pressed not to approach her just to watch her eyes flare with emotion.
He hated the enjoyment he gained from their clashing; he hated that the demon within him enjoyed it just as much.
“You were talkative.”
He lifted his eyes to meet the empty stare of Alek.
