“So we all agree, we have to tell Serenity’s mom and let Conservatorship handle this.” Nick crumpled the piece of loose-leaf he was scribbling on and tossed it at Drakkar. Seated across from the couch on the other side of the coffee table, Drake caught it one-handed.

“I don’t know. I feel like getting them involved is only going to make my mo -make Absinthe do something desperate.” Drake rolled the paper ball between his hands.

“Drakkar, she’s already desperate. She threatened the child she raised as her own,” Serenity reasoned. “Do you really think she’s going to hurt your mother? She’s her only leverage with the Prince.”

“That’s the thing, Absinthe doesn’t care who she hurts. She has no remorse at all.” Drakkar tossed the paper in the fireplace with the other hundred or so pages, now a simple pile of ashes.

They’d been at it for hours. Every idea his friends came up with, Drakkar shut down almost immediately. He couldn’t let them get any more involved than they already were, but he wasn’t about to come out and say it to them. Instead, he agreed to back off completely and let the Conservators handle Absinthe.

The only problem was, it would mean Giovanna, his real mother, could end up dead anyway. Drakkar’s gut knotted. To finally know his real mother was kept from him his whole life and then lose her in the blink of an eye, it was almost too cruel even for the Poison Princess.

Nick sobered. “And that’s why we have to let the Investigations Unit take it from here. Drake, they’ll get her out before anything can happen to her.”

“Yeah, they’ve done a bang-up job of that already.” Drakkar scoffed. “Look, Bonatelli has more important things to deal with right now. His ex is not on the list, or if she is, it’s really far down there.”

“Drakkar.” Serenity lowered onto the floor next to him and placed her hand on his arm. “I don’t think you understand how he truly feels about Giovanna. She was his first love. Love like that doesn’t die. Sure, he found someone new, but he honestly believes she was dead, courtesy of you know who.”

“She also tried to kill him. That has to stick in his gut somewhere, don’t you think?”

“Maybe, but I also heard she helped them all escape Absinthe’s prison. I’m positive that helped change his mind about her. Give our plan a chance.” She wrapped her arms around him, placing her head on his shoulder. “Have a little faith.”

He wrapped a hand around one of hers resting on his shoulder, sighing in resignation. “Okay. I will go along with this plan, but let me talk to Giovanna before you say anything. She needs to know what we are planning.”

“Got it.” Serenity brightened, kissing him on the cheek. “We won’t say a word.”

“My lips are sealed. No one will hear anything about the plan till you call us,” Nick agreed.

“Won’t say a word about what?” The deep voice behind them made everyone jump.
