Chapter 16: Visit with the king (2)

"I am not getting involved in anything that concerns that man. Not only would it make you appear foolish to ask for your wife to remain with you, but it would make me look foolish to grant it. You have one chance so think of something better," said Darius. 

Darius had never met a fool who would waste this over a woman. Who was the woman in question?

"She cannot just walk away from me-"

"Who is this woman that has captured Lord Blackthorn's attention and has you begging for her to stay?" Darius asked, his curiosity slowly turning to something more. Who had he overlooked?

"She is a pureblood like you. Selene now holds my last name," Gabriel replied.
