I watched as Phoenix made his way out of the mansion and walked in my direction. I saw Alistair follow him and just stare at him from where he stood. He was eyeing his stepbrother like he was looking at someone he owns.
Even though I know he won’t be able to win over Phoenix, I still have this itch in my hands wanting to look him in the eyes and twist his neck to kill him. The people from the underground world don’t really know what I look like, so no matter how much Alistair wants to dig about my past, he won’t be able to find anything.
Unless he discovers the secret to Animus, then he won’t know a single detail about my life. He would only know me as Zuriel August. An ex-special forces soldier. I looked up and saw Phoenix smiling at me, completely taking me away from any other thoughts
