The Devil's Cursed Witch novel Chapter 372

"I have no wish to snatch your remaining days with your mate so you better spend every precious second with her instead of fighting with me. You might regret wasting your time."

Draven closed his eyes briefly as he let go of Morpheus.

"You took advantage of her," he spoke in a low, dangerous tone.

"You know me better than that. At most, it was a lapse of judgment. Things happened that way as she was seeing a hallucination," Morpheus said with a wry smile.

Draven's forehead creased. "What did she say?"
