CHAPTER 63

HAZEL'S POV:

It was late at night and I couldn't sleep. I was waiting for Onyx. And no, that wasn't because I cared or anything. I just wanted to know if he had gone to do something to my brother. He was so unpredictable.

After he had seen me and Earl seated together in the garden, I became afraid. I felt like he was going to take revenge on my brother and my friends.

Checking the clock, I saw that the time had struck one. He wasn't back yet. I became worried.

Going to find one of the guards, I asked for his whereabouts but the guard answered me rudely. I swallowed and nodded, thanking him before I left.

I wanted to cry. I was starting to overthink things. What if he was burying them already to declare them missing tomorrow? I knew he was capable of doing such. For him to hide Selah's evil doing, I knew he could do worse.

I waited at the porch till the clock struck two thirty and about fifteen minutes later, I heard the gates open and stood to my feet.
