Chapter Twenty-One

ETHAN

I walk back into the room and wince against the music pounding into my head. Zeke stands where I left him, but without Eloise.

“Zeke?” I stride over. “I hope you didn’t let Eloise follow Dorian.”

He crosses his arms and leans against the wall. “We need to trust her judgement.”

“Around Dorian?” I scoff.

Zeke didn’t see her with Dorian that night—the look on her face as he almost took her blood. Raul is right; there’s something between them that affects her thinking, and he won’t loosen that influence. I know she’s spoken to Dorian a couple of times despite staff watching them, but mostly they exchange looks in lessons or the dining hall like lovestruck teens. Perhaps they don’t realise they’re doing this, but it’s obvious to me.

And now Dorian linked himself to the guy who abused Eloise, and the tiny part of acceptance I had for him disappeared. He’s associating with the guy who abused Eloise. What happened to his ‘assaulting girls is wrong’ so-called moral code? Whatever the pair are planning, it won’t end well for the academy.

Each time I see Ivan, the dragon stirs, and I imagine finishing the job I started. I’d do more than break his fucking face if I could hide my actions from others. After I attacked him, I was confused why Ivan didn’t tell people. The reason hit me when I heard about the chaos in the dining hall. Implying a random shifter attacked him gives Ivan what he needs—discord that he can build on.

I don’t think he wants a war; I believe this is a distraction for what he’s really planning. Inciting trouble between shifters and witches—or vampires—doesn’t take much. Most of the recent shifters arrived after attacking the other races and their discord grows.

I’m not surprised; the vamps and witches treat shifters like an underclass, even though they have seats on the Confederacy council. Someone will take advantage of this situation soon and easily recruit troops.

The Dominion will look on, laugh, and rise from the ashes and broken bodies surrounding them.

“Eloise needs us to look out for her, but she’s strong, Ethan,” Zeke says.

I scowl. “Which way did she go?”

“She followed Dorian.” Zeke catches my sleeve as I immediately make to leave again. “Eloise is more likely to get information out of him alone.”

I sigh. “We agreed not to let her out of our sight.”

“Maybe she doesn’t want you weighing in with your fists again.”

“Yeah? Would you have much more control?”

Zeke looks the other way and his eyes glow brighter in the dark. “I’d join you in pulling both Ivan and Dorian apart if she’s threatened.”

“Good.”

Zeke doesn’t reply and his attention switches back to the doorway. Dorian and Eloise stand together and my temper flares as I look at his perfect, smug face. Eloise isn’t close to him, but the pair stand together like a power couple. Again, I’m not sure that they realise this, but there’s a strange synchronicity between them.

They don’t part, but instead walk over to us. I
