Rafael held Hazel in his arms as he walked to their room. After going together to catch the witch and burning half of the black market, her emotions and reckless bond to him had eased, but it was far from the start.
He knew that the path she had chosen was full of thorns and it was just the start. She was going to have much more trouble in the future.
