Chapter 168: You're One Cute Bastard

Ezra left the safety of his mansion under the cover of night.

It was time to meet and secure the Blackthornes. They needed to fortify their plans against Griffin and Solomon.

As he stepped into the cool night air, he saw Gen and Olivia in the courtyard, engaging Natalia in conversation.

He grinned at the sight. Their distraction was seamless, giving Ezra the window he needed to slip away.

He moved swiftly through the shadows, his senses on high alert. He knew the danger of his actions but had no choice.

The stakes were too high, and his secret alliance with the Blackthornes was pivotal.

As he navigated the winding streets, he felt a prickle of awareness. Glancing over his shoulder, he noticed a figure following him from a distance.

X.

Ezra grinned to himself as he quickened his pace. That had to be deliberate. X wanted him to know he was following him. Probably Griffin's orders.
