He found Simeon outside the castle at a small archery range. None of the soldiers were there, and the castle wall cast a long shadow over him. It suited Simeon’s personality to be somewhere like this, alone and in the shadows.

When Zev approached, Simeon stared at the flowers in Zev’s hands like he carried a deadly snake, and Simeon hated snakes, and the snake was about to sink its fangs into Simeon’s flesh.

“Did someone give them to you?” Simeon asked when Zev held them out. He didn’t try to take them.

“I’m giving them to you,” Zev said, his grin firmly in place and the need to rip every piece of clothing from Simeon’s body in check – though not quite as firmly.

“Thank you,” Simeon said. Then he looked at the bow in his hand and took the flowers with the hand that held an arrow.

Archery – Zev wouldn’t have guessed. “You asked if I wanted flowers.”

“And you said no.” Simeon sniffed the small bouquet of poppies and set it on the ground. “I never said I wanted flowers. If you have the urge to write me poetry you don’t have to go through with it,” he said and drew back the arrow.

It was something Rebekah would do. Anything impractical was out of the question. What the hell was Zev thinking? Well, he wasn’t thinking. Not with his brain anyway.

“Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?” Zev asked and chuckled when the arrow flew over the target and landed in the soft grass beyond.

Actually, the target didn’t have any arrows in it.

“Don’t. It’s petty,” Simeon said, eyes still focused on the wooden plank holding the target. He didn’t seem to notice or care that he couldn’t hit the damn thing.

A million miles away.

Again.

The alpha urged him to follow.

Zev wondered how long the omega had been here, and what drove him to try archery if he’d never done it before or wasn’t any good at it. “I think Shakespeare would disagree.”

“Shakespeare’s dead. And he might not agree. Read Macbeth.”

“I didn’t know you were an expert on such things.” Zev watched the muscles in Simeon’s neck tighten. His fingers itched to touch it. Feel it.

Dammit!

Simeon notched another arrow, and his nose twisted as if he were trying to remember something. “Not an expert. I couldn’t read when we met Walter, but he fixed that. He taught us a lot. ‘Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player / That struts and frets his hour upon the stage / And then is heard no more. It is a tale / Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury / Signifying nothing.’”

Another arrow flew and hit the edge of the target – the white part of the board that wasn’t within the rings.

A shiver trailed up Zev’s back at those words. Did Simeon believe that? Maybe. It sounded like something an assassin would believe. Something an assassin hired to kill his own mate, anyway. “You’re getting closer.”

Simeon lowered the bow and looked at him for the first time.
