Elaine POV
“Nik, do you know what you’re doing? Are you being influenced by a blood promise too?”
He grimaced. “Why would I need to make a blood promise?”
I gave him the benefit of the doubt and he blew it. My brother shoved his hands in the grey hoodie he wore.
“I’m not a traitor, Elaine.”
I stepped forward. The fire I created in the pool was slowly winding down.
“You’ve always been Daddy’s little soldier.”
Nik chuckled. “That’s where you’re wrong. I’m his heir. I get everything. It’s always been me. He kept you aren’t for a purpose nothing else.”
“Don’t you care that he plans to kill us? Your siblings!”
He shrugged. “Sacrifices must be made. What’s three obnoxious siblings anyway?”
“You’re just like your Father! You’re heartless and cold. Opal did so much better with Richie!”
