TWENTY ONE
ZERON
I pace back and forth along the throne room, my claws digging into my palm as I wait for Ervis to show up. Talon and Valdrin walk in, the duo avoiding my gaze. "Hera told me what happened. Are you okay?" Talon asks and I glare at him.
"I'll take that as a no" he mutters and I clench my jaw. "Alanna is asleep and she's fine now" He tells me and I turn away from him.
"You're going to kill him, aren't you?" Valdrin asks and I halt. "Maybe" I rasp and wipe off the blood oozing from my nostrils. Ervis will suffer my wrath today. The bastard had been bringing down the wards for Lochan to come in. He's been planning to murder me all along and he'd laid his hands on Alanna. That is unforgivable. The two faced bastard will regret ever messing with me. Ervis suddenly walks in and bows in front of me. A sardonic smile curves my lips as my gaze meets his.
"I've never been so happy to see you, Ervis" I say and he grins foolishly.
