“Are you just going to stand there or are you going to tell me what is going on at the trial?”

I glowered at Mathias, willing him to turn around and face me. He had been staring out at the indistinct ocean for the better part of the last ten minutes, if not more. It was very difficult to tell the time here and Mathias being uncooperative never helped.

“Hush now, dear,” he replied as if deliberately trying to make me angrier. “I’m trying to listen. It’s a little more difficult than usual.”

“More difficult?” I asked, narrowing my eyes at him. I could count the times Mathias had confessed to something being difficult on the fingers of one hand, and still have fingers left. “Why?”

“I’ve been looking into Lucienne’s mind to keep track of her motions. Unfortunately, she’s chosen this exact day to have trouble controlling her powers, which means I have to maneuver through a minefield to get to the information I’m trying to find.”

I didn’t bother chastising Mathias for spying on Lucienne through such a questionable method. He would not care one way or another. Such things were trivial to him, and I had to admit that considering my situation, I couldn’t exactly complain. It would’ve been far worse if I hadn’t known what was going on at all.

“Will she be all right?”

“I have no idea.” For the first time in what seemed like ages, Mathias looked at me. “I might try to pretend I know everything, but it’s not actually true.”

After that, silence fell over my mindscape. I allowed him to work and in return, he kept me posted on the highlights of the trial. Apparently, my parents had decided to marry Lucienne and me while I was still in a coma. That had not exactly been the way I’d planned to start a real relationship with Lucienne.

What a fucking mess.

Things became even more complicated when Malachai was brought in. My father was willing to compromise in my case, but Malachai was not so lucky. “At this rate, they’re going to execute him and there will be nothing Lucienne can do about it. Unless she plans on killing them all, of course.”

“That isn’t funny,” I chastised him. “Even if Lucienne had the power to do that, she wouldn’t go so far.”

“You underestimate your soulmate.” Mathias threw me a small, smug smirk. “I’ll have you know that—”

Before he could finish his sentence, his body lit up from within as if he was suddenly being consumed by an outside force. His eyes widened and he fell back on his ass in a display that would have amused me had the circumstances been different.

Unbidden, a thread of concern wormed its way inside me. Mathias had a lot of enemies. That sort of thing happened when you were older than dirt and went on semi-regular killing sprees. I had no idea what happened to his body when his mind was here. What if someone had attacked him? “Mathias? What’s wrong?”

As it turned out, Mathias’s reaction was not caused by any kind of threat directed at him.
