Layton broke away from Preston and faced Rhys again. He was ashamed of losing it, especially in front of his family, but more so in front of Rhys. Alexis’s brother he might be, but the incubus was still a stranger. “You were saying?”

The incubus didn’t comment on Layton’s little fit, which almost made Layton feel worse. He tried to focus on Rhys’s words. He could fall apart later, in private.

“Well, because of the age of the spell, the magical signature of the person who cast it was imprinted on it. Now, magical signatures are as unique and diverse as people are, and the chances of finding someone just by using that are slim to none. However, in all this mess, we are in luck. I know the person who did this. I’d recognize his magical signature anywhere.”

Layton shot to his feet. “Who is it? Who is the bastard who did this to me?”

Rhys actually winced. “My dad.”

Out of all the possible things Rhys could have said, that one was the absolute last Layton expected. Layton had met Rhys’s father, and the man didn’t strike him as the type to randomly cast spells of this nature. Besides, had he done so, surely he’d have had more qualms in allowing his son to mate into this family.

It seemed Alexis felt the same. “You can’t be serious, Rhys,” he protested. “Father would never do something like this.”

“Not him,” Rhys explained. “My other dad.” Layton recalled that Rhys and Alexis were only half brothers, on their father’s side. Layton had never met Rhys’s other parent, and the topic had never come up. Apparently, they were estranged, and as curious as the complicated family entanglements of the Whitakers made Layton, he was discreet enough to know when he needed to mind his own business and not ask questions. It seemed that today was his lucky day because the spell certainly made Rhys’s parentage Layton’s business.

“Do you know where he is?” he inquired.
