Chapter Fifteen

Jasper

“This entire part is yours?” Zev sounds shocked, but he really needs to start to expect the unexpected. I’m part of a higher line Lycan family. Of course, this entire part is mine. Having children is merely a means to an end, an obligation to further the line. I want to believe my father isn’t like the other highborn Lycans, the ones who don’t really give a damn about their children, however, at the end of the day, I can’t say he’s any different. While he tries to be a better parent than most, I know what I am to him—a status symbol, an heir. While we have a decent relationship, he really only communicates with me when he needs me to help him with something.

I give Zev a curt nod. “Yeah, the kitchen is over there. I have my own dining area, living room, and a few bedrooms. The bedrooms are up the spiral staircase in the library.”

“You’re sure he won’t mind you’ve brought me here?”

He barely cares about anything I do. I doubt this would be any different. “No, he’s glad I have the company. Most days he’s working so much he doesn’t even see me while I’m here.”

“Shit, that must suck.”

Shrugging my shoulders, I slide my hands into the pockets of my trousers. “Life sucks sometimes, Zev. You of all people would know that, right?”

“If that isn’t accurate as hell, I don’t know what is,” Zev cackles from where we stand in the hallway.

“I’m gonna go check-in with my father and let him know we’ve arrived. Go ahead upstairs and get settled in. The last bedroom on the left is my room, but you’re welcome to stay in any of the others.”

“Cool. Thanks, man.”

“No problem.” I mutter my reply as I head to the doorway that leads into the other part of the estate. Our home is in all actuality multiple homes in one building which has secret ‘tunnels’ that lead to the others. With my foot, I slide the stone griffin on the floor to the right and the doorway opens for me. Now, we have actual hallways as well, but using the tunnel is quicker and I don’t feel like walking around this entire damn place today.

The tunnels are something all highborn Lycan families have. After all, with hunters and other enemies in our midst, there’s no telling when we would need to use them. Better to be safe than sorry.

Stepping inside the tunnel, I leisurely walk to the other end. It leads to the hallway where my father’s office is located. I know better than to look in his living area or even the dining room. He’s always stuffing his nose in books, researching, doing work. Honestly, it’s the reason I can’t ever keep still.

Though as I venture forward, I hear whispers about halfway down and realize the voice is growing louder and louder. It doesn’t take me long to figure out this isn’t just any voice—it’s my father’s. I know better, but I stop where I can hear his voice the loudest.
