Chapter Eleven

ISAAKKasym and Milo hit it off immediately. It was no surprise considering it was Kasym. He was the charmer. The gentleman. The rational to my irrational. One thing people didn’t know is that Kasym could be as cold as me, and sometimes even worse. He knew how to wrap you around his finger and then cut you off without warning. It was one of the reasons we got along so well.The first time Kasym and I met was when I was 8. It was during one of those boring family conventions, ones where each clan gathered to insult and throw their successes in each other's face. I had been outside, on the hunting grounds with the other men when he had walked up to me. He was older than me by just barely eleven months, and he had looked soft, but he didn’t flinch as he watched me shoot down the birds. I remembered exactly what he was wearing, a blue shirt that hit his knees, way too big shorts and a teddy bear that he held so close to his chest it looked deformed.He had come up to me later during t

Lucy shows me the bridesmaid dress after we pick my wedding suit, and while I have never been attracted to the opposite sex, I have to admit it looks gorgeous on her. Kasym was right. It was hard not to like her. She seemed to genuinely care for Isaak, and I could see us being friends. She was the only woman in the family they trusted to be by my side, and from what she told me, she would also be my security detail. She didn’t fail to mention she had beaten Isaak in a spar once, and Kasym twice. Lucy was fun.

ISAAKI can hear him crying, but I don’t turn back, instead focusing on Enzo. He leads me down the stairs, talking about how the communal bathrooms have been improved. When I ask why, he laughs and says they used to hide bodies behind the tiles, and the stench eventually got too much to handle.Kasym pops up behind us as we turn the corner, and I curb the bout of irritation. I didn’t need him here right now. Enzo barely glances at us as we walk into the bathrooms. I grab his hand and pull him aside. “Did Milo send you away? Why are you here?”He looks at me with one of his shit eating grins. I want to wipe it off, preferably with a punch. “I think you might have broken him. You know Milo’s dad is like one of those weird cruel bastards, right? Kinda like yours. Word on the street is, he killed his son because he wasn’t…man enough.”Milo wasn’t man enough, but Andrei had uses for that femininity Milo always carried around with him. I don’t say a word to Kasym though, especially not in f
