It was
half-whispered, but his face drained of color all the same. A knife she didn’t
know he had on him was suddenly at her
throat as he shoved her against the nearest tree. The steel bit into her neck,
droplets of blood trickling down her skin.
A slight breeze
tousled her hair as he breathed heavily, eyes flicking back and forth as he
took her in. Narrowing them, he murmured, “So you are both dangerous and
important.”
She had nothing
to say because she agreed. He huffed, talking more to himself, “Today really
couldn’t get any worse, could it?”
Dropping the
knife, he ran his hand through his hair.
“I’m assuming
you had mistaken my twin brother for me, but the
more important question is, how he could be alive when I thought him to
be dead years ago? When the Academy fell—”
She cut him
off, “It never fell.”
He tilted his
head in question.
“Over the
years, a resistance has been
building…hiding from Adair until we were betrayed. Alby was part of this, but
Adair—he has him.” The words came out in a rush.
“So it was
true. There were always theories, but it seemed too unrealistic that some of
the most influential people of our country would stand by and do nothing while
thousands died.”
She cringed as
if he had slapped her.
“Especially
you, Emory Fae…you alone could have gotten Adair’s attention. Anyone who is
anyone knows about Adair’s blood feud with your family. Exactly how is it that
you of all people are alive?”
Before she
could answer, a husky voice called out, “Azarius!””
He snapped to
attention, the knife flashing back to hold her from running. His anger was
stifling.
