Chapter Nine

Seth sat back down on the coffee table. “We think that you"re the son of the God of Death

and a Keeper. While affairs between Gods and Keepers are frowned upon, they"re not unheard of.

To have a child born of that affair, though, is forbidden. The offspring would inherit some of the

powers of both parents, making them more powerful than any Keeper and, depending on their

gifts, many of the Gods.”

Jamie shook his head, brows drawn together. “But if your friend had a hunch about it, then

he must have heard of this happening before. What happened to the offspring that time?”

“He, uh… He was killed.”

“By who?”

Shit. He didn"t want to say this. Didn"t even want to think about it. Somehow, saying it

would make everything real. Inescapable. Right now, he was still drifting in shock. “The God of

Wrath, but only because he got to the boy first. Gods and Keepers alike searched for him once his

existence had become known.”

“Could the man in my vision be the God of Wrath?”

“I don"t know. What does he look like?” Seth had seen the corporeal forms that Death and

Wrath took while on earth once or twice, so he would be able to differentiate by the description.

“Almost as tall as you. Big build. Black hair and eyes. He has a scar on the side of his face

from his brow to his left ear.”

“No. The corporeal forms that the Gods take cannot be scarred, which means we"re dealing

with someone else.”

“If he"s the son of a God and possibly has a brother out there, maybe they"re trying to find

Jamie,” Loland piped up. “They could help.”

Given the fact that Fate had suggested Jamie"s own father should have collected him in

death years ago, Seth was betting against those odds. He shook his head grimly.

“So I have a battalion of Gods and Keepers out to kill me.”

“It hasn"t come to that yet and I won"t let it. My friends and I will keep you safe, no matter

the cost.”

Jamie fell silent. There was nothing in his demeanour to give away how he was processing

this information. Externally, Jamie was calm and composed. Internally, Seth was screaming,

raging against the injustice of their dilemma.

After some time, Jamie spoke up again. “What if the cost is your life, or Loland"s life, or

the lives of your friends? I can"t be responsible for that.”

“Jamie, what are you saying?” There was more than an edge to Loland"s voice, and Seth

thought he understood why.

“My dreams were warning me. In my vision, the man knew where I was. I can"t let you risk

your lives…”

“You leave me and I"ll kill you myself. How dare you try to make my decision for me!”

Loland fumed. “You really think I would let you just waltz out of here to your death without

trying to stop you? If I have to lock you up in the dungeon or tie you to the bed, I will. In fact…”

He bolted from the couch and marched out of the room and up the stairs.

Jamie turned wide eyes to Seth, but he was just as confused by the man"s intentions as

Jamie was.
