Aaron

Zach's jaw firmed. "The same Elysian male who attacked the bar kidnapped her without my knowledge."

For a race that was supposed to be losing their access to emotions, the man had plenty swirling below the surface.

"You are the leader, yet you're unable to control your own people?" Hope's brow creased.

Zach stiffened, his spine straightening. "He's no longer on my core team. I have him under arrest."

"Seems to me you have a rebel on your hands, alpha." Aaron folded his arms over his chest. "You'd be better rid of him completely."

Zach glanced at Aaron, his eyes narrowing. "He's my half-brother."

Aaron angled his head. Interesting. "For a race that has lost your emotional anchors, and one with a reputation for being ruthless, you sure have a conscience."

Zach's features tightened. "There is a misconception that the Elysian are emotionless."

"I know you can feel. Why else would you have come to help me?" Mira touched his forearm.

The Elysian's gaze followed her gesture. His gaze fixed on her fingers in contact with his skin.

This time Mira kept her hand where it was.

Zach raised his chin at Aaron. "There is a chemical imbalance in our brains when we are born. Because of this, our rational mind overrides our emotions. It's why the Sian Web was created. A few hundred empaths born every generation plug into this collective psyche and provide emotions for those who most need it." Zach's voice was cool.

Yet his thumb stroked Mira's hand, a subtle movement that was not lost on Aaron.

"In turn, the empaths benefit from drawing on the logic their minds lack."

"If you are losing your empaths, why haven't you gone insane like the others?" Aaron widened his stance.

"My mother was a wolf shifter." His eyes flickered, revealing what it had taken to admit that to them.

Mira gasped, moving closer to him.

"It's the reason I haven't lost touch with my emotions. Others who were born better balanced have been able to hold out for longer."

"You are the leader of the Elysians; we are in your house. You didn't need to explain anything to us." Aaron frowned, running his hand over the nape of his neck. "Yet you've given us enough that we can work out your weaknesses and use it against you."

Zach's gaze flicked over Mira's features. "It's important that you don’t judge my race by the actions of a few like my brother." He squared his shoulders. "When my brother kidnapped Mira, it showed me an error of my own. Emotions need to be willingly given if they are to help us." His gaze locked with Aaron's. "If you understand my race and my motivations, you can convince your alpha to help me out."

A sound from the landing outside the door had all four of them freezing.

Zach recovered first. Springing to his feet, he pulled Mira up with him.

"Tell Leana I was wrong to demand volunteers from your city." He turned to Aaron. "However, should she still feel that it is the best for both our species, I'd gladly accept them.
