Eli turned swiftly to the door of the hall, someone had slipped in at that moment but that person wasn't the one he was waiting for.
It was a redhead.
Forget this! He was done waiting, he would go and get her now.
If Kestra hadn't gone on and on about how seeing her before the ritual wasn't going to destroy things, he would have gone to get her way before now. He did send guards to her though, and Sebastian had said she was fine, but just a little nervous.
He was starting to feel that something was wrong other than just nerves, but he had been having that feeling for a while that he couldn't really trust it now.
Being paranoid had been his major trait ever since those nightmares started troubling him. He had even ensured the castle was well-guarded for tonight. It was as if he was prepared to fight against an invasion while also attacking an enemy.
What enemy? He couldn't know.
