“I don’t know what to think.” Az and I have been pacing the carpet in our grand suite ever since our little introductory banquet—or whatever it was—wrapped up.
“Well, I sure do,” Azriel sneers. “Fuck these witches. They’re talking out of their asses to try and get one over on us. It’s just like I thought back in New Orleans, but you just had to try and broker some shit. Not to mention the stunt they’re trying to pull with Emily.” He jerks his thumb at the door to her adjoining chamber like he wants to kick it down and abscond with her.
“Keep your goddamn voice down,” I growl. “The poor thing is worked up enough as it is without you mouthing off.” Invoking her distress to him is kind of a low blow, but it does the trick. Emily has been scrambled from the second we got here, and the stuff the coven said at the dining table didn’t help matters.
