Kian's POV My heart skipped a beat, and all the questions I planned on asking got stuck in my throat. “Coward,” Kai sneered through the mindlink. I ignored him and just got into the driver's seat. Luckily, Zeke didn't bother finding out why I asked him that question, so we both just sat in silence, each person lost in their own thoughts. A few minutes went by before our father came along. “The meeting went surprisingly well,” he said, as he got into the car. “ “Yeah,” I replied flatly, and turned on the ignition. There's a lot of preparations to be made, and the earlier we get back to Blackshadow the better. We drove silently, as we made our way back home. I couldn't stop myself from occasionally looking at Zeke from the rearview, and each time he seems to be far away from reality
