“But you’re a Kral prince. You could order him to keep his mouth shut.”
“Mm.”
I pulled back so I could see his expression. “What’s that mean?”
His eyes slid from mine.
My mouth compressed. “So I have to trust you, but you don’t trust me?”
“Damn it, Ican’ttell you. My dad would have my head.”
Holy bat crap. I dropped my head back against the wall with a thump.
“It’s not just Victorine,” I breathed. “You suspect someone in your own syndicate.”
He released me, picked up our bags. “It’s safe now. Let’s get to our gate.”
“I’m right, then.”
“Drop it, Princess.”
“D’you think they’re working with the slayers, too?”
A hard stare. “I said,drop it.”
So the Kral Syndicate had a traitor. Someone they suspected was working with Slayers, Inc.
We were almost to the gate when my step faltered.
What if SI didn’t stop with Zaquiel? He was the Kral who didn’t give a bloody damn about the Syndicates. He did only what his father required of him and spent the rest of his time in war zones and refugee camps, aiding humans.
If you really wanted to hit Karoly Kral where it hurt, you might start with Zaquiel, but you wouldn’t stop there. You’d go after his other two sons next.
Which meant Rafe could be heading straight into a trap.
“Zoe?” Rafe frowned at me over his shoulder.
A chill trickled down my spine.He knows.
Rafe was too smart not to have realized this could be a trap.
But everyone knew how close the Kral brothers were. I might not know Rafe well, but I knew this much: Nothing would stop him from getting on that jet to Paris and doing whatever it took to rescue Zaquiel.
That was when I knew I was in deep.
Because my whole body clenched up tight at the chance Rafe might end up in a cell next to his brother…if he didn’t end up dead.
I blew out a breath and hurried to catch up with him.

RAFE
Istared at the flight announcement board, barely aware of the humans hurrying past.
That had been close. Too close.
My shoulders were still knotted, my heart pumping, my whole body battle-ready.
