CHAPTER 61

  Sebastian's Point Of View

  I stare at the thorn in my hand. The inch long piece of wood is curled cruelly at the end, like a barb. A drop of black forms at the tip and drops on the ground. The grass burns where it falls.

  It must be the work of a witch, there's no way this could still leak poison after being detached for so long I'd taken as much medical supplies and weapons from the witch's den as possible to carry. I hope that antidote works better than this poison.

  My eyes flicker to Hazel, curled up in the blanket. Her skin was scorching warm but the way her brows are furrowed tells me she's cold. For a moment, I'm tempted to do something about it. Surely, my warmth could make her feel better.

  I shake my head, cutting off my thoughts. What the hell am I thinking? Hazel wouldn't allow that.

  I'm a decent girl not used to men holding me like that!?
