Ryker's POV
*****
He sat in his throne room, his mind drifting to different thoughts that ran through his mind in quick succession.
His fingers drummed the skull-shaped armrest, waiting patiently for something important.
The reason he had told Marcellus to make sure Odessa Pierce went to Mexico alongside Kaelos…
"Sir..." Regina's voice echoed from the entrance of the throne room as the doors swung open.
She walked in with a sly grin, her black gown trailing behind her like a dark cloud. Her hips swayed seductively but also with a confidence that was hard to miss.
"Calanthe is dead, lord," Regina remarked, causing Ryker's eyes to widen slightly.
Calanthe... Also known as the "raven witch", was once a powerful member of the coven of Mexico City over a century ago.
But then she was banished... Forgotten.
That's until she met the Lord of the North years ago and they struck a deal, making her one of the witches secretly helping him further his research on artificial hybrids.
