EVANGELINE.

‘That snake!’ Evelyn growls.

‘He is not your friend.’ Godric says in my mind, his voice as harsh and cold as before and he remains emotionless as he stands there.

He was expecting him… he isn’t surprised at all to see him. I’m ready for anything and I know Godric is on no one’s side right now, but he isn’t throwing me to Jeremiah until he sees how things play out… Frowning slightly, I turn to Jeremiah and smile innocently.

“Hello Jeremiah, tell me, who are the traitors? And who is currently leading our people? Did Adonis get back? I heard Ragnar betrayed us.” I say.

‘And his foolish sister? She too is guilty. She upped and left the moment things got bad. We have come to end things with the vampires once and for all. That’s not like Isa…’

I hear the change in Godric’s heartbeat before he turns away.

Did he recognise the name? One can hate with all their hearts, but the mate bond holds power..
