Oye didn’t say anything as she was still locked between the past and the present.
A hand grabbed her jaw and feral eyes looked her over. “Humph, I can smell the blood coming off you. You are a warrior.”
She grinned; her fangs now exposed. “I will take you.”
Oye’s body surged with energy and then, her eyes opened.
Someone, anyone save me. Please.
CASTIAN
When Castian returned to headquarters he’d been planning on reporting in before he left to look for a house where he and Oye would live.
Prepared to have a war of words with Tiller. Castian was thrown for a spin when instead he walked in on Madame La along with a few other witches demanding help from Raijin.
A muffled voice came from the wall, Castian glanced to the left only to find Tiller, Alek and Malcolm lashed to it.
Her fur coat seemed to bristle along with her, as she stood in front of Raijins desk. “You owe us men. Oye is Sabina’s precious cousin. You're not going deny my request for help.”
Hearing Oye’s name Castian walked further into the room.
“What happened to Oye?” he demanded, catching the two’s attention as his magic slowly leaked out, permeating the room. “Who took her?”
He stopped at the edge of the desk and glared at Lanias. “Well,” he snapped.
“She’s been taken,” Raijin explained simply.
Castian tried holding onto his calm, but Raijin’s useless answer wasn’t helping.
“Who's the one who took her?” He said slowly, his hands trembling as his anger grew.
“We don’t know but the magic registered as one of the traces that were found in the underground prison Sabina and I were held in.”
The crystal awards that Tiller enjoyed having displayed in each office of their building exploded and the room was engulfed in night. Raijin kept calm as well as Lanias, the two were accustomed to magic outbursts.
Leaning forward, Castian put his right hand out, his eyes dark. “Give it to me.”
Raijin weighed him with his burgundy eyes. “We cannot lose another viable witness.”
“Give. It. To. Me.” Castian commanded from between clenched teeth, his voice growing rough. “If you don’t—” A wrenching sound came from around them as his golem maw opened right behind Raijins head. The forgotten look of madness coming to his eyes.
“Oh, give lover boy the damn signature,” Lanias said on a huff. She snapped her fingers and a small pearl of black fell into Castians hand.
His fingers curled around it, as he straightened. He shot her a thankful look before he disappeared from sight.
The office atmosphere lit up directly after he left.
LANIAS
“That wasn’t a choice you should have made,” Raijin said.
She shrugged, “He’s reminded me of someone,” she said, shooting Raijin a mock look of sympathy. “You dogs are all the same when it comes to love. You turn single minded when something you treasure is endangered.”
She gave him her back as she made her way towards the door. “Madam Lanias.”
She paused at the door and glanced back at him, “Yes?”
Raijin silently pointed at the wall.
