Chapter Twelve

Silas

Our dinner guests were now safe and sound at home—wherever home was. We had snuck them in through the tunnels while Corina bathed, and then proceeded to sneak them out in the same manner.

Per their request, we didn't pry for further information as to where they lay their heads at night. That was information only they, and Corina, were privy to for now. After all, it had been difficult enough to get certain ones from their group to grant our request to drive them period. Much less be made aware of their exact location. So, tonight, our journey together ended at the entrance to one of several bridges near the Capitols outskirts.

The dynamics of the brotherhood the other princes and I shared had changed so quickly, there hadn't been much time to digest it all. However, what was most important was that Levi and Corina were finally home safe. And for that, I was eternally grateful.

It wasn’t lost on me that their return had raised several questions, perhaps more than their absence had. Julian confirmed as much with a simple glance that passed my way through the rearview mirror when a name was mentioned during our drive home from Glenn’s.

Aaric.

The only detail we managed to grasp was that he’d been the mastermind behind Corina and Levi’s disappearance, and that neither had any idea as to why they’d been taken.

If this point was frustrating for me, it must have been at least ten times that for them. As my brothers and I sat here now, having a drink in Julian’s study, it seemed wise to confer without Corina being present. If I wasn’t mistaken, earlier, she seemed to want nothing to do with the conversation.

“We need to discuss what took place while you were away. We were given a name, and told that his motives were unclear, but I feel there’s more that hasn’t been said.”

Julian’s gaze rose to meet Levi’s when I inquired, watching as he aimlessly swirled what little Scotch remained in the bottom of his glass. There was a grave look I didn’t miss, one that only confirmed my thoughts.

There was more to the story.

“He bit her,” Levi breathed. “She was taken from me one night and they didn't return her for several hours. When they did, there was a mark on the side of her neck.” Peering up, he swallowed hard. “Only, within seconds the mark was gone.”

Tension spread across my brow, and I straightened in my seat. “He injected her with his venom? But why would—”

“I'm still a bit foggy on the details myself,” Levi admitted. “Starting with Corina's description of the guy. Something strange stood out to her about him. Something I'm still trying to make heads or tails of, honestly.”

“What aren't you saying?” The coarse words flew from Julian's mouth, but the sudden burst of anger was not meant for Levi. It was intended for this stranger whose motives were slowly beginning to unravel.

“His eyes,” Levi continued. “She said they were like ours. Silver.
