Chapter 45

Hazel’s POV

Cassius tightened his hold on my waist and I winced. My eyes roamed to land in front where the man whose name I expected to be Aloysius and a woman with long dark hair stood next to him. An expression I couldn’t explain decorates his face. I looked in front to see the monsters that I was bound to destroy.

Ezra and Theodore stood next to Claus and Veles stood at the right, wearing golden attire and a smug look on his face. I could feel judgmental eyes on me, assessing me. The aura around us screamed a whole new different word for regality. The man who performed the rituals when I married them was standing with a book and a strange-looking blade in his hand.

Cassius took us to the center where the throne was situated, Claus stood on top of the stairs, with narrowed eyes and edged expressions. He could sense my emotions. I licked my lips holding his eyes and a smile crept on my face. Something between seductive and taunting.
