I grabbed that hand, wanting nothing more than to crush it.
My wolf pushed me aside. It happened without warning. Evie gazed up at me. I could hear and see her, but my wolf had taken over.
I needed to kill that part of me. That part that refused to fall in line. I knew it could be done. Somehow.
“Hi,” Evie whispered.
“Something is wrong,” my wolf said.
Colluding. They were colluding together. All of them. I fought against the wolf, slamming it into the walls of my mind over and over again.
“I know,” Evie said. “I’m going to fix it.”
Finally, I shoved the wolf aside. It took more effort than it ever had.
“Don’t talk to him,” I bit out. “Talk to me.”
“Of course.” Evie smiled up at me. “What do you want to talk about?”
“I want to know where you went with my second. Lie,” I warned her, “and I’ll kill him in front of you.”
The blood drained from her face. “Oh, Nathaniel. I’m sorry. I’m so sorry I didn’t see it.”
“Didn’t see what?”
“Can we talk inside?”
“Yes.” I wanted her inside, where that part of me was kept, where I could influence her. Where I could teach her that, just like everyone else, she was created to obey me.
I stepped inside and frowned. The house was quiet. Too quiet.
“Where are my people?”
“Tobias had something to do, and the wolves are busy working on the HFE stuff,” she said without hesitation.
Liar. Sweet, beautiful liar.
“Nathaniel?”
I was quiet as I led her upstairs. As I led her closer to my power. I opened the bedroom door and gestured to the bed.
“Sit, Evelyn. Sit and tell me what it is you want me to know.”
Her eyes fired, but she controlled her reaction.
“Will you sit next to me?”
I sat and waited for the lies to begin.
“Do you remember Finvarra warning you about the book you took?”
Don’t listen to her,that low, silky voice urged.She wants your power. Wants you dead so she can rule with your second.
The thought jolted something within me.
“Something is wrong,” I growled. “Evie, you need to get out of here. Now.”
“No,” she said calmly. “I need you to listen to me. The book started working on you when you were injured. When that b-bolt went through your chest.”
