Because he’d sold out. Sabelle was completely right. Again, clever, clever girl. Ice had always respected her, but today, his esteem for her raised by leaps and bounds.

“Think, Bram,” she went on. “Blackbourne will vote for Mathias. He nominated the bastard, and not voting for him would be bad form. But we have a chance swaying Spencer, perhaps, by convincing him that there’s no love lost between you and Ice.”

Not a hard sell, really.

Bram scrubbed a hand across his face. “Perhaps. I think you should let me talk to Camden, just in case. We can offer him protection in exchange for a vote for Lucan.”

In the corner, Lucan cleared his throat. “Nominate Ice. It’s a better move. Sabelle is right.”

Whirling on his friend, Bram’s glare shouted that Lucan’s surprise statement was something he expected out of a Judas. “You’re giving up, just like that?”

“No, deferring to the better plan. Think past your anger and that damned pride of yours. You and Ice don’t see eye to eye. You both felt betrayed by each other. It was two centuries ago. If we’re to prevent bloodshed going forward, we must use our heads.”

Easy for Lucan to say; he hadn’t been stabbed in the back. Given his scowl, Bram clearly didn’t like Lucan’s assertion any more than Ice. But damn it, the bloke was right. While Ice hardly believed he would make a stellar Councilman, for the sake of magickind and Gailene’s memory, he would try.

“Thank you, Lucan.” Sabelle nodded in the other man’s direction, then turned back to her brother. “To confirm my suspicions, I’ll contact Camden and see where his loyalties lie. I’m sure it’s in self-preservation, but—”

“I’ll contact him,” Bram argued.

Sabelle raised a golden brow at him. “So you can conduct the same sort of delicate conversation you tried with Spencer? I think, dear brother, that until you learn to control your temper again, you should limit your conversations with others.”

Raking his hand through his hair, Bram turned away with stiff shoulders. But he nodded.

“Good,” she said. “I’m famished. Breakfast anyone?”

Lucan was quick to respond. “If you’re cooking, yes.”

Everything inside Ice demanded he follow Sabelle, keep Lucan far from her, be the only wizard to share her morning, her table … He pushed it down. Logic. Lucan wasn’t going to Call to her. And as long as the others on the Council believed he was not Bram’s ally, Sabelle could not be his.

Reeling under a stab of pain, he sent a long stare to his beloved. Something in her face, the pleading in her eyes, told him that she wanted him to extend an olive branch to Bram and let the healing begin.

His stomach balled up, a knot too big to have swallowed. Be the first to apologize to the “friend” who had slammed the door on his last beacon of hope to avenge his sister? Who had put him in his proper place with a few well-placed words centuries ago, then again when he’d Called to his sister? The wizard standing between him and happiness even now?

Sabelle asked much of him.
