the elder into going along with him on this plan.
“Seems like everyone has a thing for Thane,” | muttered silently to myself.
I hated the fact that | felt so insecure, but Thane had never once admitted that he loved me; he was with me
only because of the situation of things, and after that... then what? Beatrix had toldhow good a player he
was, and so | was always left doubting, yet this was the wrong tto be distracted by my many insecurities.
“I'm sorry, Thane'’s life is on the line, and all | could do is get jealous; that is selfish and unreasonable of me, |

“You can’t control your emotions; this is not your fault,” Axel says, and maybe he was only saying that to make
“I noticed Thane hadn't been escorted this tby those scary-looking men... that was the only clue that
something was off”
“Yes. Bailey had managed to convince the elders that bringing him in with a large number of escorts and in

counsel; of course she had only said that to pave way for Thane and make things a little easier. They had no idea
that Thane could not only resist their mind sorcery but every other trick they had beneath their sleeves,” Axel
explained.
Thane had toldearlier that if he wanted to sidestep the elders, he would have done that; he had willingly
accepted the punishment in the past, not because he couldn't prevent it but because... he was trying to keep it a
secret.
“It had all been an act?” | asked Axel.
“Yes... the elders have this ability to create illusions, illusions that could feel so real. That's how they manage to
cause a person so much pain with just a single look.” Axel says, | had never heard about such ability.
“And | guess he discovered this with Bailey's help?” | asked, unable to keep the slight bitterness away from my
tone.
“Yes. She didn’t believe there could be anyone immune to it, but Thane had cup with the idea, and when
she tried the ‘illusions’ on him, it didn’t work. Still, Thane had to play the part, had to make them believe he was
affected and powerless, just so he could take them by surprise. | want to be there with him Riley; | hate being
left out on a fight this good, but | am not immune as he is; | would only be a liability.”

being left out, and | had been worrying myself to death about him, without the knowledge that he had a plan, a
plan he didn’t bother sharing with me.”
“I thought the same, but Beatrix predicted that you would create a scene and the elders would believe this was
all genuine; they wouldn't know what was coming for them till it was too late,” he says, before finally noticing he
had said a little too much.
“So ‘Beatrix’ knew about this and I didn’t!”
“Don’t take this the wrong way; you have every reason to know, but if this works, then you did contribute your
part”, he paused, flinching again and then inhaling deeply, he was trying to hold it in and pretend, but then he
let out a whimper, falling to the ground. All the anger and jealousy I felt had been shoved to the side.
“Axel, are you alright?” | asked, but he wasn’t. | needed to do something... Thane was being hurt, and Axel
