Chapter 19

(Phineas – Leader of the Lost Herd, at his home, FL)

“I said, give her another shot!”

Sebastian cringed but held his ground, “Phin, she doesn’t need it. She’s still out cold.”

Sebastian rarely disregarded an order, and I couldn’t think of a time when he had stood up to me for anything of consequence. He was my nephew, was fiercely loyal, and could be trusted to do what he was told. I reminded him, “If she gains consciousness, we’ll have a hundred Centaurs on us in a matter of hours. Keep her out until we get things in order.”

“If we keep sedating her, we’re going to need to give her an IV or something. It’s been over twelve hours since we got here.” Although loyal, he didn’t want his hands dirty, or at least not dirtier than they already were. He had been an active participant in the kidnapping, but he wasn’t happy about it.

My frustration wasn’t with him. I purposely calmed myself down and answered, “Then give her an IV, but make sure she stays out.”

“We’re going to have to get a doctor here.”

“Fine, get a doctor, get a nurse, for all I care you can assign a candy-striper, but do not let her wake up.”

Sebastian left the room, and I was alone with my thoughts. Drake Nash was alive. I told them to check before we left. Idiots. She’d already chosen him. As long as he lives, he will have a hold on her. Unless she rejects Drake’s betrothal pledge, she may not be able to unite with my son.

Camille could bring legitimacy to the Lost Herd. The Centaur Council wouldn’t be able to destroy a precious Chiron. They would have to accept us back into the Centaur Society. All the careful planning my father had done twenty-three years ago could be lost because these idiots didn’t bother to check for a pulse.

Zandra had the right idea. She could step down as the Chairman of the Council and pass the torch to Camille rather than to Angela’s brother, Angelo. The thought of Angelo made my skin crawl. How he bore the Chiron name baffled us all. I’d always heard when twins were involved that one was as evil as the other was good. Angela had been known for her kindness, her beauty, and her grace. Her twin, Angelo, was well known, but not in a good way.

Most of his life Zandra had tucked Angelo away in South America, in remote villages where his exploits would not catch the attention of Centaurs or humans. No way would she turn over the Centaur Council to him; I was convinced she had long ago decided to outlive her son. Camille was the best choice to replace Zandra as the Chairman. I wasn’t sure how Zandra would explain Camille’s other bloodline if anyone were to become aware. Camille was a Chiron and a Tak, but Zandra had always had a way of spinning things in her favor. Now was the time for action.
