The entire room went deadly silent.

“What. Did. You. Say?” Ronan growled.

Saoirse swallowed hard as she twisted the beaded bracelet around her wrist. “Your half brother.”

Declan released his hold on me. “We don’t have any siblings.”

Saoirse sighed. “I’d heard rumblings for over a decade. That there was a woman your father had hidden away. That she wasn’t of noble blood, so she wouldn’t have made an acceptable mate.”

Ronan bared his teeth at the older dragon. “So, what you’re saying is that he was cheating on our mother?”

She held up a hand in a placating gesture. “I’m not so sure about that. Cillian was born more than a decade before you.”

“Cillian.” Declan said the name like it tasted bad.

“He’s just as innocent in all of this as you are,” Saoirse said in warning.

Ronan let out a rumbling sigh, not saying anything. But I knew what that expulsion of air meant. I knew that he was acquiescing to Saoirse’s words.

“Where does he live?” Ronan asked.

“With his horde in Northern California.”

Declan’s brows pulled together. “About as far as you can get from Rhode Island and still stay in the United States.”

Saoirse released her hold on her bracelet now that the twins had calmed. “I don’t think he has had it easy.”

“Why did you seek him out?” Ronan asked.

“The rumors I heard were of a boy who was incredibly strong, gifted, even as a young one. I figured he wasn’t the biggest fan of your father—”

“Don’t call him that,” Declan snapped. “He’s never been that.”

I reached out, taking Declan’s hand and squeezing hard. I knew that feeling so well. Not wanting to claim a person as a parent when they’d never lived up to the title.

Saoirse nodded slowly, pain lancing her features. “I figured he might not be the biggest fan of Patrick. I was right. He’d like to help.”

Ronan squeezed the back of his neck. “I’m not sure how he can do that when he lives on the other side—”

“He’s here,” Saoirse interrupted.

Colt’s body jerked. “You invited him here without checking with us? This is our home. Our haven. You had no right.”

“Everyone, just take a breath,” I said as calmly as possible. Then I pinned Saoirse with a stare. “You should’ve asked them if they wanted this.”

“I didn’t want to cause them pain if I couldn’t find him or he didn’t agree.”

“I understand that,” I said, gentling my tone. “But you can’t keep things like this to yourself, not with everything going on.”

Saoirse blew out a breath and nodded. “I promise to keep you up to date from now on.”

“Let’s hope to God there are no other bombs like this one,” Declan muttered.

“Well, do you want to meet him, or should we leave him standing down the street in the cold?” Saoirse demanded.

Colt turned to Ronan and Declan. The twins shared a look and then both gave an almost imperceptible nod. Colt pulled out his phone and tapped the screen. A second later, he pressed it to his ear. “Yes, there’s going to
