Ezra hurried down the corridors. He was almost late for Griffin's summons.
He concealed a smile as he walked. It had been trivial to slip the information that the Blackthornes were hiding out somewhere.
This meant that by this time, Griffin should have gone to attack the Blackthornes, gotten nothing and came back to see his prisoners gone.
He strode into the entrance hall to see two other men also waiting. Ezra recognized them. They were the leaders of the other two covens under Griffin. He gave them a nod of acknowledgement and they returned it.
His eyes went to the assistant's desk. It was occupied by the woman who had replaced Natalia. He suspected that she was also Griffin's wife.
After a few more minutes of waiting, the new assistant waved them in. The door was pushed open and the three coven leaders walked into the throne room.
