Dolton POV
As we move further from the cells, I can practically feel Sebastian’s anger radiating like heat. Celine had been given clear orders—not to do anything that might provoke Nylex or make him act out.
Had that spell failed, she would have been at serious risk. Every precaution we’d taken to keep her hidden in the cell had been wasted.
Sebastian spins around, his expression stormy. “You were told to stay quiet and not get involved,” he snaps at Celine.
Celine opens her mouth to retort, but Sebastian raises a hand to cut her off. “Because of your actions, he likely won’t speak now. We’ve lost any chance of getting the information we need.”
He’s not wrong. Nylex had talked because he was confident he could escape. Now, knowing he’s bound indefinitely, he has no reason to cooperate
