“Why the fuck would we work with you when we could easily wipe them out ourselves?”
“Because I want it done tonight.”
“Why tonight?” This was from Ice.
“Because unlike the Savages, I prefer to eliminate future issues quickly and efficiently,” he replied.
“They’ll do whatever they need to get her back, and if they were to discover the alliance they thought we had has already fallen through, I reckon they’ll be mighty desperate for some leverage. That’s no way to start her reign.”
Luce chuckled; the sound dipped in darkness. “You could have taken them out yourself. What’s the catch?”
“The catch is that none of us want to cause a bloodbath where our family is involved. Lazarus and Stag have no issue with the Savages, we’ve got other things to focus on,” the woman spoke for the first time.
“I’m sorry, who the fuck are you again?” Cam asked.
She reached up and removed her Stag mask, revealing a face that was nearly identical to his with hair to match.
“You mean you don’t know? I heard you’ve been trying to figure it out. I’m your sister. Half, if you want to be exact.” She smiled, showing off two rows of white teeth.
“Cobra has no idea I exist, for the record. I’m supposed to be dead, so he refused to believe I wasn’t. Not for my lack of trying. It’s a long story, I’m sure you’ll figure it out.” She beamed at us again, creepily.
“You’re Rory?” Cam asked, his voice flat and devoid of any emotion.
“Aurora, officially.”
“So, where is Lilith? His actual sister?” Bella questioned, still ignoring Amo’s presence. I wondered what happened between the two of them.
“I am his ‘actual’ sister,” Aurora ground out with a small laugh. “One of the two, anyways.”
“And you came from where?”
“Technically speaking, the gutter. Cobra and Romero would know all about that. You should ask them about it.”
“We’re more interested in where my sister is,” Cam countered, making a point not to claim her.
Aurora looked from him to Bella with an amused expression. “Oh, you guys have got to let that go. Lilith is never coming back, and that is a good thing.”
“She deserves to be free,” Bella snapped.
“If he lets her go, he’ll do so only after he carves the girl into pieces. If she isn’t, she will be as soon as he tracks down.”
Cam gave her a look that could freeze hell itself.
“Don’t go there,” Aurora chastised.
“She isn’t hurt, she isn’t being mistreated. Whether you want to live in denial or not, she is my sister too. I won’t let anything harm her so long as she’s with us. That’s the most I can promise.” Her tone was jovial and flippant, but I didn’t trust this girl. At all. Something was off about the whole situation.
“Why isn’t Samael here, telling us this himself?”
“I’m his proxy.”
If this were true, the rumors had been partially right. Cam’s sister was by Samael’s side, just not the one they’d all been thinking of.
“And I should just take your word for it? We don’t know you. I don’t know you,” Cam retorted.
“True,” she agreed with a nod. “But you are my brother. We just have to get to know each other.”
“You keep saying that,” Bella cut in. “Blood isn’t how we determine who’s important to us.”
