Chapter Twenty-Four

Rhyland’s POV

I watched as Raven left the room to meet with the Queen, leaving Cassius and I alone. His body was less tense than usual to my surprise, usually he was as still as a rock when he or Raven came anywhere near me.

“Do you think I’m cretinous?”

I looked his way and took a moment to answer him back.

“Why? Would it bother you if I did?” I smirked and his eyes hardened as he stared at me. I shrugged at his lack of response and moved to walk out of the room until his hand gripped tightly around my arm.

I felt my eyes shift from their ever so light purple to a darker shade.

“It would be wise of you to remove that hand if you want to keep it.” I gritted out as I slowly brought my glare up to meet his.

“I’ll put this as simple as possible, don’t fuck with her feelings.”&nb
