I cock a brow. “Not that I feel the need to tell you, actually it has nothing to do with
you, so maybe take a hike,” I say, trying to control my annoyance.
“Say that again, I’m fucking-”
“Jai, come on, please quit this. We are one team guys.” Valerie says, but she still seems pale ever
since she learned Sebastian was shot, which makes me wonder
why has it affected her so much. She isn’t a traitor, is she?
No, fuck why am I thinking that, unless we aren’t related, and this is a game that
Lawrence is playing to split us apart?
“I’m not leaving you with him, Babe.” He mutters.
Babe. I almost forgot that they’re fucking dating or something.
“I know, you never listen, but I agree, you do need to know what’s going on.” She
says, smiling up at him.
Do I need to? Now that it’s before us, I don’t know how to go about it. I run my fingers.
through my hair.
“Lawrence Walton mentioned that Blood Borns are born into three families. As in
how each triquetra has three points and there are two triquetras. Zaia and her
brother Zade.” I begin.
“Sebastian and his brother Gaultier and I don’t know if your family ever told you
because mine never told me, but I was adopted and apparently, we are siblings.” I
finish.
I just say it all, not knowing how else to do it or what else to say.
She’s staring at me, but I know it’s clicked. She just doesn’t know how to react.
“Damn… That’s…” I’m expecting him to scoff about it, but Jai seems to believe what I
just said. “No, I don’t think Val…”
Valerie looks down. “I know… I knew… I was told when I was little before my momma.

passed away, but it didn’t matter.” She whispers, looking up at me.
Her eyes are glistening with unshed tears before she turns and almost hesitates, as
if not knowing whether she should run or not.
“No, it doesn’t matter. We were lucky to have good parents.” I say quietly.
There’s a sudden tension in the room as Jai remains silent, and no one speaks.” Well, I’m going to
head home. It’s been a long night. The remainder of assigning everyone their roles should be done
tomorrow.” I say, thinking I need to talk to Mom
too. Why was I never told I was adopted?
“It’s late, and risky to be out there alone. You should stay until morning, even if you
do have guards.” Valerie says, suddenly stepping forward.
Jai cocks a brow as Valerie looks between us before she walks over to me.
“Should I?” I ask, smiling slightly at Jai’s annoyance.
She looks up at me and gives me a small smile. I’ve always known she’s been a no-
nonsense person, but she’s trying.
“I think I wouldn’t mind, actually.”
“Well, great… you can share a room with Jai.” She says.
“No. I’m coming to yours then.” Jai retorts.
Of course, that’s what he wants.
She simply smiles and shrugs. She might not be showing how she’s truly feeling, but
I’m sure she could use someone’s comfort tonight…
I do need to speak to Mom, but I need to do it with a clear mind. Maybe staying and
clearing my head will help.
I feel like I’ve lived a lie my entire life…
It’s late, and I can’t sleep. I glance over at the digital alarm clock, 2:47 am.
I sigh heavily as I sit up and stare at the far wall, a thought had crept into my mind.
not long ago but now that it’s in my mind it’s not leaving.
Is Zaia awake?
I pick up my phone and text her.
ATTICUS: Hey, you awake?
I stare at my phone and I’m about to give up when the screen lights up.
