Chapter Ten

You and Seir would be a lot more comfortable if we

weren’t here.”

Al’s wife wasn’t speaking for the rest of them.

Utah felt the excitement building around the table.

“Shush, Jenna.” Kel y jabbed her sister in the

side with her elbow. “We al want to hear.” Ty’s wife

stil had her tabloid reporter instincts.

“I’d rather you stay. Some of you have met Seir.

Those who haven’t, I want you to know him. He’s

capable of many things. He’s—”

“Here.” Seir emerged from the room’s shadows.

He hadn’t been there a moment ago.

With al those crazy shades of gold in his hair

and his icy eyes, Seir would look right at home on

any branch of Fin’s family tree. Seir might smile

more than Fin, but Utah would bet he could be as

cold as his brother.

Seir dropped onto the chair at the opposite end

of the table from Fin. “I guess I arrived just in time.

Were you getting ready to tel them what a

disappointment I was to you, brother?” He grinned,

but it didn’t reach his eyes.

“I was getting ready to tel them you were

powerful, manipulative, self-serving, and a lot more

fun to be around than I ever was. Did I miss

anything?”

“I think you left out the loving brother part.”

Utah would’ve missed it if he hadn’t been

watching Seir. For just a moment, he saw real hurt in

Seir’s eyes. Interesting. What had happened

between these two?

“I don’t have time for a touching reunion. You set

us up.” Purple flooded Fin’s silver eyes.

Seir looked relaxed. He seemed to be enjoying

Fin’s anger. “Umm, maybe I got it wrong, but I

could’ve sworn the only dead bodies around that

bridge belonged to the vampires.”

“Utah and Lia were taken.” Fin’s voice vibrated

with power. The table shook.

Now Utah was getting concerned. He wasn’t

alone. The rest of the Eleven leaned forward.

“Yes, wel , that wasn’t supposed to happen. If

you hadn’t spent so much damn time trying to keep

me away from the bridge instead of being there with

your men, no one would’ve taken them.” Seir’s good

humor seemed to be fading.

“So now you’re blaming me?” Fin’s eyes were

completely purple. “You haven’t changed. Stil trying

to shift the blame. Stil playing both ends against the

middle.”

“You stubborn bastard.” Seir’s eyes freaking

glowed. Pale blue ice backlit by cold fury. “This isn’t

right. It’s never been right.”

Utah had reached his limit. He slid back his

chair and stood. “Could we put a hold on the family

feud for a second while I ask a question?”

The silence was complete as everyone turned

to stare at him. And within the silence, Utah heard it.

A heartbeat. Not his own. What the . . . ? There was something wrong with this heartbeat, though. It had a

hitch in it. Thump-hitch-thump, thump-hitch-thump.

Almost as though it was two different beats trying to

be one but separated by the strange hitch. Didn’t

make any sense, so he dismissed it.

“Where’s the garden center?”

Reluctantly, Seir shifted his attention from his

brother. “It’s on Burnside Street just down from the

bridge. But Christine moved everyone out as soon

as she discovered you and Jude had escaped. I

went back to check after I dropped you and the

vampire off here.” He shrugged. “I don’t know where

she has Lia now.
