Maeve’s words hung in the air.Did you truly believe I didn't know you survived the chasm?My heart skipped a violent beat. A cold drop of sweat slid down the back of my neck. I tightened my grip on my shortsword, the leather wrapping digging sharply into my palm. I thought I had cornered her, but Maeve was looking at me like I was a piece on her chessboard.Ronan shifted closer. His massive shoulder brushed against mine. The furnace heat rolling off his body grounded me, chasing away the sudden chill in my blood. I took a slow, deep breath."You knew," I said, keeping my voice steady. "But you didn't stop me."Maeve stopped on the bottom step of the dais. She didn't look at Dracon, who was bleeding on the floor from his broken nose. She didn't look at Alaric, who was weeping quietly over his pinned hand. She looked only at the glowing gold mark on my chest."Why would I?" Maeve asked smoothly. "Alpha Dracon grew greedy. He tried to spill sacred blood to elevate his spoiled daughter."
