Chapter 61

No fucking way.I let go of the bars, ignoring the raw skin left behind.

"How do you know him?" My voice snarls.

"Knew him,"

Lenora interrupts, "He’s the victim at the end of the hall."

I snap my head to her, then back to Randall, "How do you know him, Randall?"

"He is mates with a woman named Contessa DeCaul.They work for Santoro Enterprises," he swallows hard before he continues, "When I was first initiated into the council, they approached me and we made an agreement to help each other.

I gave them confidential Council information in exchange for protection."I rub my hands over my face in frustration.

"Did you know she is one of the Manae?"

I put my hands on my hips.

"What?" he looks at me wide eyed, "No."

Based on his reaction, I believe him.He will leverage anyone for more power.

If he would have known Tessa was a goddess, she wouldn’t have been an exception.

Lenora takes me by the wrist,"I’ve already called the Council to come deal with him and the body down the hall, Bronx.Come on.We have more important matters to deal with."

As we approach where Tyree is standing, I see a giant purple crystal in the middle of the hallway.Tyree looks a bit nervous as he shifts on his feet.

"Wh-where's Kas?"

I look around, confused.

Tyree turns his eyes to the floor.I look at Lenora, who bites her lip and points her finger toward the crystal.

"Wait what?"

I turn and look at the structure.

I look closer, I can see the outline of Kas with her head thrown back in the
