I stiffened. What had Deacon just said? Blowing up islands? Holy crappers, the islands. I blinked. Would Seth really go home? He hadn’t been there since he’d been sent to the Covenant in the UK as a teen, but he’d talked of wanting to go back there. He’d mentioned it once, but to even speak of a place that had been so cold to him, it had to be important. It was a wild guess, completely out there, but it was a very real possibility. His family home was surrounded by nothing by trees and sand. He would be alone there, away from everyone. But would he go that far, halfway around the world? Would he go to that kind of extreme?
Deep down, I just knew he would. Call it intuition, but I just knew I was right.
“I think I know where he’s gone.” I stood up, thrusting my hands through my hair and then dropping them to my sides. All eyes were on me. “I can find him.” Determination filled me. “I’m going to find him.”
“Where?” Luke asked, attentive.
Glancing around the room, I exhaled slowly. “I think he’s gone to the Cyclades Islands.”
“What?” Alex frowned.
“That’s where he was born, and his home is still there. I can’t tell you how I know that. I don’t even know, but I just do. He’s gone there.”
Aiden looked away, his silver eyes flashing as he crossed his arms over his chest. Without saying a thing, I knew he so wasn’t on board with this plan. Not my problem.
Deacon glanced at Luke, who nodded. “We’re in.”
His older brother’s eyes narrowed. “I don’t think that’s wise. You saw him. You saw how unstable he is.”
“I’ve also seen how he’s been the whole entire time he’s been here,” Deacon argued. “So I think my decision is completely wise.”
Alex unfurled her leg, and her shoulders rose with a deep breath. “I’m going to have to agree with Aiden on this.”
“Of course you do,” muttered Deacon. “I mean, when wouldn’t you agree with him?”
Aiden snorted. “Uh, like all the damn time?”
She narrowed her eyes at Aiden and then turned to me. “I know you have seen a . . . a different side to Seth. I get that, but you don’t know what he’s capable of—”
“And you do?” I fired back without really thinking about it, because of course she knew what he was capable of.
