Niko sucked in a harsh breath.

“Zee... ” His chest cracked at that moment, ugly and bitter pain spilling out, but he ignored it. “Did your father refuse her?”

“No.” Liam shook his head, his green eyes, so like Zee’s, haunted and dark. “She never reached out. She just left. She ran and she ran and she ran. Nobody even knew where she went for more than two years.”

A band constricted around Niko’s chest, cutting off his flow of air, stifling his ability to think, see, hear.

“When did she connect back to her old pack?”

Liam didn’t speak.

Niko shot out a hand and grabbed the boy by the back of the neck, hauling him in close as he snarled, “When?”

“Zee has no pack—she’d rather die than become part of Greylock, so she’s alone. She’s been alone the past ten years.” Liam’s eyes went dull. “Because of you. I can’t even feel my sister anymore, Prime. I didn’t even know she was alive until I got Saint to talk to me—it took him two years to find her, you bastard. Two years with all of us wondering if she lived or died. I haven’t seen her since she ran. And all of it is because of you.”

Just that simply, Nikolai felt the very earth underneath him tremble, then collapse.
