Chapter 242: Rare (3)
"No one will be cutting Selene," Xavier promised.
"Besides you?"
Xavier bit his tongue. Zephyr was pushing it here, and the only reason Xavier was being kind was because Selene adored her grandfather. The kindness was quickly slipping away.
"I know you hate my grandfather but you do not know me. To judge me based on what you think about him is foolish, considering that I have been the only one to protect Selene. Being rude to me will only upset her," Xavier advised Zephyr.
Xavier added, "And it’s only so much I will take before I consider putting you back to sleep or worse."
"Is that a threat?" Zephyr asked, enjoying the talk.
Xavier was bold, which was expected of a Blackthorn.
"No, it is a promise, but I’d hate to have to kill one of the few relatives she adores. Focus on telling me your plans and forget that I cut her. Go on," Xavier urged Zephyr.
Zephyr saw Xavier to be more like his grandfather than his father. "I am going after the men in the court who went after Seraphina and her family. I would go after the king who wanted her, but he is asleep. Now, my eyes are set on the current king."
