The first thing Eli noticed about the older bloodkin princes was how different they were from Dante. He had seen them before, in passing and from the distance, but never from up close.

But as they entered his and Dante’s quarters, he noticed it all now, and the difference shook him. These men weren’t like Dante. They weren’t even like Vane and Cole Bloodmoor, or like their father, who had many times shown emotion. Gideon and Valerian Bloodclaw were blank slates. Eli couldn’t read them at all, couldn’t even see a shadow of dislike or repulsion. He wanted to believe that it was a mask. Anything was better than the thought of his mate having such cold and emotionless siblings.

Aran let the two princes inside, opening the door for them when they were led here by a group of guards. The Imperator then stepped aside, leaning against the wall and giving them space. Dante had not yet made his appearance, as he and Eli had decided to monitor their reactions to Eli first.

Eli got up from the settee he’d been lounging on. “Thank you for coming,” he said. “Your interest is greatly appreciated.”

“We have not come here for you, elf,” the younger of the princes, Valerian, said. Eli recognized him easily, mostly because of the difference in build and stance, but also due to Valerian’s very distinctive eye color. “We wanted to see our brother.”

“Remember yourself, Valerian,” Aran warned. “Eli is a guest in my house, and I won’t have you slight him in any way.”

Immediately, Valerian revised his behavior. “Of course, Father. It is merely impatience that sharpened my tongue. We are very eager to be reunited with Dante.”

“I understand completely,” Eli hastened to say, “and your wariness toward me is understandable. But let me introduce myself. I am Eli Starburst, Dante’s mate.”

“His mate,” Gideon said, speaking for the first time. He almost seemed amused, although Eli suspected it would be a mistake to interpret Gideon’s reactions by his normal standards. “I see. And I take it we have you to thank for our brother’s imminent return.”

“Indeed,” Dante answered in Eli’s stead as he appeared from the bedroom. “Cut the sarcasm, brother. It was never your strong point.”

Dante’s appearance caused quite a reaction. Neither of the two older bloodkin princes seemed to have expected their father’s claim to actually amount to anything. Eli actually experienced a great deal of satisfaction upon seeing the shock on their faces, one that not even they could hide.

The surprise passed in but a moment, and both Gideon and Valerian snapped back. “Dante,” Gideon said neutrally. “I suppose it would be a foolish endeavor to ask if that’s really you.”

“I expect you know me well enough to judge that for yourself, Gideon,” Dante answered. “Yes, it’s me. This is my…spiritual form, so to speak. My body remains in the temples. With Eli’s help, we are attempting to unite the two.”

“I see,” Gideon replied. “And have you had any luck in this endeavor?”
