The other Primal’s smile was smug.
“But I know something he doesn’t.” Kolis leaned forward.
The corners of Kyn’s lips straightened.
“Your father was an excellent tracker, able to move as a wraith, unseen and unknown. Until it was too late. It was why I wanted him to handle a few…errands for me,” Kolis said. Only this madman would call murdering someone an errand.
Actually, he had that in common with my mother. Go figure.
“I’m sure he passed those talents on to you. He did when it came to his eldest son, Mahiil.”
I jolted. Rhain had a brother? I had a horrible feeling that had was the keyword there.
“And I also know that my nephew wouldn’t surround himself with idiots,” Kolis added. “What I think is that you allowed yourself to be caught.”
My lips parted as I stared at Rhain.
“And I also think being led to Nyktos wasn’t your only goal or hope.” Golden eather swirled across Kolis’s bare chest. “So, I will only ask you this question once, and unless you wish to end up like your father and brother, I suggest you answer truthfully.”
My gods, my suspicions were correct. Kolis had also killed Rhain’s brother. So many of those close to Ash had suffered because of Kolis. Too many—
Seraphena.
I stiffened, my stare swinging to Rhain. His voice. I’d sworn I heard it in my mind.
“Were you attempting to discover Nyktos’s location?” Kolis pressed.
Seraphena. Rhain’s voice came again. Listen to me.
My throat dried. Either I was hearing him, or I was losing my mind.
“Or hers?” Kolis asked.
My heart stuttered. One brown eye locked onto mine.
“See? I think it’s the latter.” Kolis was less than a foot from the battered god. “And Kyn didn’t just bring me a gift. He gave one to you.”
My gaze darted to the other Primal. He was frowning.
Remember what you did when you learned what Veses had done?
Okay. I had to be hearing him because that was a weird thing to think.
When you saw her with Nyktos?
“Because I know something else that he doesn’t.” Eather whirled faster across Kolis’s flesh.
Use the essence, Rhain’s voice whispered amid my thoughts. And bring this entire palace down—
Kolis shot forward, grabbing Rhain by the throat. I cried out in surprise.
“Silence,” Kolis warned, shooting me a look before refocusing on Rhain. “I know what your father was capable of. I also know what he passed on to both of his sons.”
Rhain gasped for air as Kolis lifted him off the floor.
“Only a few of Veses’ gods are capable of…what did she call it?” Rhain gagged, and Kolis smiled broadly. “Thought projection?”
“What the fuck?” Kyn snarled, his arms unfolding.
