Chapter 231

• I skimmed through all the information that I had stolen from the Super Council, my fingers moving quickly over the printed words as I tried to absorb every sentence. I highlighted every single passage that mentioned Kaiden's name, no matter how minor the reference. My mind was racing with possibilities, trying to form a pattern, something I could make sense of. I needed to make absolutely certain that I had it right. I wasn't going to go after Kaiden unless I was one hundred percent sure. This wasn’t the kind of decision that could be taken lightly. If I made a mistake, it could cost all of us dearly.
• If he was her weakness, then that changed everything. It meant he had lied to us from the very beginning. It meant that his entire presence here might have a purpose far more sinister than we originally believed. And if that was the case, then there was a possibility that we had a traitor living right inside the castle. The thought made my skin crawl. I needed to get word to Ethan as soon as possible, even before I had solid proof. It was a risk, but it was one I had to take. If we waited too long and Kaiden was feeding information back to Lilith, we could be exposing all our plans without even knowing it.
• So I composed a short but urgent message for Ethan, scribbling the words with a steady hand despite the anxiety brewing in my chest.
