Chapter 387: The Seer
Selene stiffened at my words, her back straightening so much that I was almost worried that she might snap her spine in two. That would be a problem because I was pretty sure that Tank wanted that honor for himself.
"Is that a threat?" she hissed at me, pushing me forward until I was in Daddy’s arms. "You are nothing more than a child. I have seen scarier things than you in this world; there is nothing you can do or say to make me fear you."
"Oh," I chuckled, even as I nuzzled against Daddy’s chest. "I can promise you, there are plenty of things in this world scarier than me. But you’ll never have to see them."
Her face twisting with rage, Selene took a step toward me even as Dimitri blocked her path. "I’d be careful if I was you," the man grunted with a smile. "If’n de Devil don’t get you, de Sins will."
"I have never committed a sin," replied Selene. Dimitri smirked, not meaning it that way at all, but before he could correct her, a man in leathers and a spear interrupted the conversation.
"The Seer will see them now," he announced, his soft voice somehow managing to make Selene turn pale. Interesting. I thought she was the head of everything here... why would she be scared of a single guard?
And just who was this Seer?
Rhys cleared his throat, his eyes focused on Dante as if he were the leader of our little team. "Follow me to the Seer’s hut."
There was no question, no asking for permission; it was a simple statement, and the expectation was that we would follow.
