SEVENTEEN

Caiden had been subdued since he’d followed my mother and learned the information about Allan being related to the Strelichevos. From everything I knew, Allan had always been around for him and Weston when they were younger—much more than Arlo had, at least, since he’d always buried himself in his work. The betrayal was hitting him hard; he’d seen Allan as a trusted figure, and now that trust was shattered.

What we couldn’t work out was the connection between Allan and my mother. I kept thinking back to the box of letters and the photo of Christine as a child. What did it all mean? At the moment, we had no clue. There was clearly some connection between them, but Petr had specifically mentioned that Christine wasn’t related to the Strelichevos.

Still, we were finally building up a dossier of information that we could present to Arlo, once we’d filled in the missing pieces of the puzzle. Well, Weston was. Everything was online, stored securely under layers of encryption. Although I had to take West’s word for that, since all that computer stuff went way over my head.

My last thought before I went to sleep, was that I had to get Caiden out of his own head. I’d watched him brooding ever since he’d come back from following Christine, the storm clouds gathering in his eyes, the way he flexed his jaw, tension radiating from him. This whole thing with Allan was fucking with his head. I had to distract him.

Phone in hand, I went in search of him the next morning. Rubbing sleep out of my eyes, I padded down the stairs in a cami and shorts, my hair an attractive bird’s nest of tangles. Mornings were not my favourite time of day. As I reached the bottom of the stairs, I noticed the door to the basement gym was ajar, and immediately knew where he’d be.

They were all there.

It was too much to deal with this early in the morning. Bodies glistening with sweat, muscles for days as the four of them punched, pounded, lifted, grunting, the testosterone filling the room and making it hard to breathe. I enjoyed the sight, drinking it in, before I backed quietly away.

I took a quick picture before I left, though. The view was too good not to.

I made myself busy cracking eggs and preparing omelettes, ready for when they’d finished their workout. Eventually they entered the kitchen, one by one, while I was on my second coffee of the day, but still feeling half-asleep.

Cassius’ mouth broke into a huge grin when he saw what I was doing, and he sidled up to me. “How did you know I was in the mood for omelettes?”

I laughed. “When are you not in the mood for omelettes? Or some kind of food?”

He winked, grabbing one of the plates from the pile I’d placed on the island and scooping some out of the pan.

“Cass.” I glanced over at the others, who were discussing something to do with their workout, by the sound of it.
