“But—”

“Leave him.” She rose to her feet. “That’s the solution if you really want to save him. And look at the plus side, perhaps everyone will stop calling you the Flame Lord’s alchemist.”

“You’re a bitch, you know that?”

“Perhaps, but he’s my brother. I care about him far more than you ever could.”

I held her gaze, but didn’t respond. I recognized a losing battle when I saw one. Plus, I now knew why Cora hated me. It wasn’t because of what I had done to Era; it was the potential I had to take Rowan away from her, permanently. The worst part was that I was starting to wonder if she was right.

“This isn’t a contest,” I told her and left the room.

There was no one in the hall, and Rowan appeared to still be in his office. For that, I was grateful. I needed time to think, and the best place to do that was the lab. I stopped at the head of the stairs and pulled out my phone. I glanced at Rowan’s door. I really needed to tell him about what had happened at the morgue, and about my concerns regarding Colby, but not now. Rowan needed a quiet moment.

I selected the lab’s number from my contacts list. “Hey, Ian,” I said when he answered the phone. “I’m at the Elemental Offices. Want to come get me?”

“Yes, the foundation for Elysia’s cure is prepared.”

Good, she had spoken with him. “Perfect.”

“I kept it warm, expecting His Grace to bring you home.”

“He has things to do.”

“Let me turn off the gas and I’ll be right over.”

I thanked him, ended the call, and headed downstairs. A hum of excitement tingled through my veins. If I could get the azoth to work consistently, I was well on my way to stopping Neil. I reached the bottom of the stairs and turned toward the library. The last time Ian had shown up at the Elemental Offices—unexpectedly—he had appeared in the library. I assumed that was where he would come now.
