Chapter 35

Warren jumped and turned around to face Dillon. He looked terrified. At the same time, he seemed hungry for something. Dillon was taken aback when Warren licked at his lips. The man’s tongue was forked. It was a serpent’s tongue. Whatever magic Warren was dabbling in, it must have taken him over.

“I can almost taste your magic, Dillon,” Warren said with hints of hissing throughout.

“What have you done to yourself, Warren?” Dillon inquired as he attempted to remain as calm as possible.
