Lake's POV Alec handed the phone to Reed, who walked past Kairos and me. The doctor must have realized something important had happened because he quickly told me he would come check on me again, giving me a look that indicated he expected to find me in my room, and I nodded.He walked away, and Kairos dashed over to Reed and Darian, who reviewed the footage. I didn’t miss how his eyes got misty. Reed turned to me and asked Alec to excuse us, motioning for Kairos and Darian to follow, who wasted no time.But I trailed behind them, giving Alec a grateful look that he didn’t say anything, but the look he gave me I still couldn’t describe. I could tell he was still reeling from what I had told him.I needed to inform Kairos that I had told him before Reed or Darian discovered that he knew. We got outside and Reed talked about their encounter with Riley and his group at the beach, adding that they were clearly going after Mira.The time on the video was before 3 am, which means Kairos wa

Lake's POV"No," I responded quickly, cutting Alec off before he could say anything else. “Lux doesn’t know. And she will not know.

Nonetheless, I had to believe him. I had no choice.Alec leaned back against his pillows and ran his hand through his hair. “I just… I can’t wrap my head around all of this.”I opened my mouth to say something reassuring, but he didn’t give me

Third-party POVWithout further delay, Reed turned and swallowed, but Kairos's mother spoke before he could follow through. "I will go." He paused and she spoke again, "They are my sons and I can get there faster."It would be better if she went. Reed learned that night that Kairos and Darian fought and that even though he could breathe underwater, he didn’t fare well when caught in their storms.However, she was a woman and he was a man. It had to be him. “It should be me,” he said. “There are humans on that boat. If anything goes wrong-” She opened her mouth to protest, but he stopped her. “I’ll go. I’ll be fine, I promise.”Without saying anything else, he pulled his shirt over his head and bolted from the control room, racing to the lower deck. He was halfway to the edge, ready to dive, when he heard a splash behind him.Spinning around, his heart lurched in his chest as two heads breached the water, tails shimmering in the dim lighting, one pulling the other close. "Darian?" Reed
