Chapter Thirty- Three

(Sin)

“Sire?” Merula questioned.

"Yes? ... What is it?" I snapped as I continued to pace the length of the throne room. I wanted to go see Amaya and make sure she was okay, but if I did, I could ruin my own plan. Damn it, I hope this worked. If it didn’t, then she would be executed along with Abigail, and everything would be for naught.

“Your brother Rook is here to see you.” Merula stated, his voice shaking.

“Send him in.” I replied as I stormed over to the throne and sat down, agitation ate at me, and I really wanted to get this over with.

Rook entered and bowed just as Merula turned to leave.

“What news do you have?” I asked him as he shuffled uncomfortably.

“I’ve overheard some of the demonesses talking about Lazarus taking over when he comes back with his fated mate, but I overheard my mother talking to one of her guards. She is working with the pastor to sentence and kill witches, what I can’t figure out is why. Why would she be interested in a mortals affair?”
