Chapter 39 : Truth Revealed

*Jared*

Eliza didn’t seem to be breathing.

I wasn’t sure what kind of reaction I’d expected out of her, to be honest. I hadn’t ever planned to tell her I was Alpha King Alexander’s brother. It hadn’t seemed necessary.

“Seeing as you’re finally being honest with me,” I said carefully, stretching out my arm to lean against the post of my bed, “I figured I could be honest with you as well.”

What I really wanted to say was, ‘Why the f**k didn’t you tell me you were related to the White Queens?’ But, I bit my tongue, preventing the words from slipping out.

She blinked a few times, then shook her head.

“He doesn’t have any siblings,” she said blankly, a distant look in her eyes.

It wasn’t often that Eliza was at a loss for words. It was even more rare that she was stunned into near silence.

I wasn’t sure I liked it.

She looked a little pale all of the sudden, like she was going to faint.

I caught her before she pitched forward, her eyes nearly rolling back in her head.

“This is very dramatic,” I mumbled, scooping her into my arms and laying her on my bed–our bed, if we were being technical.

She heaved a breath, choking on what could have either been a laugh, or a sob. “That makes so much sense,” she whispered, reaching up to rub the tears from her eyes. Her fainting spell seemed to have broken through her panic and rage, sending her into a stupor. I sat on the edge of the bed, watching her closely as she whispered to herself, covering her eyes with her hands.

“What?” I asked, unable to hear what she was saying.

“Your shadow likes me,” she said, dropping her arms on either side of her and staring up at the ceiling. “I was able to help you reign it in–”

“What does that have to do with anything?”

“I can feel those powers in the Cryptex when others can’t, and it responds to my touch, opens to me–”
