She nodded. ‘It’s shocking news, I know”

“Gabriela,” Malachi said with a snarl. She will have to be killed of course”

“No,” Stella replied in her same calm voice. She has h o idea that she is the one providing

the High

Council with their information.”

I couldn’t stay sitting. I had to move. I paced the floor at half double speed and for my

with the restraint of

stopping myself from buzzing around the room like an angry wasp.

“If she’s a spy, how can she not know that about herself?” Lasked, spinning to a stop on

one heel to face

Stella.

“She’s not a spy, exactly. But they are using her.”

Stella touched her fingertips to her temple again, this time only for a second or so.

Stella shook her head. “How could you have? All you’ve been told since we got here was

Malachi’s expression twisted. “And it is. Or at least, it has been at least until you all

“I told you, she’s not a spy. She’s a victim of the High Council’s intrigues as much as

anyone they le eve used for their own gain. Perhaps more, because, unlike her husband,

and frankly, deserved.”

I paused before answering. “How much do you know about your grandfather, Orion, and

what he did?”

Stella smiled gently. “I know everything I need to know about everything, Mother.”

“So you’ve pointed out,” Malachi said. “But what your mother wants to know is, exactly

what do you know,

so she doesn’t have to find a way to be nice about telling you that your father’s father was

a villain.”

“I know of his betrayal,” Stella told me. “I also know what you have not yet learned, and

that’s about his

deal with the High Council.”

“I know about him and his plans for the hybrids,” I began, but Stella shook her head.

“Orion Constantine worked toward his own interests for a long time before any of what you

know about

him came to pass. He offered what did not belong to him in his pursuit of power,” she

said. “He gave them his

wife.”

I paced again, more slowly this time. I wracked my brain trying to recall anything Xander’s

mother had

ever told me about the High Council, its plans, Orion’s part in them, and also her own. It

had happened to me so long ago. I was having a hard time recalling even how long we’d

been at Brightsky.

Weeks? Months? Surely, we could not even have been here for a year yet.

“Time passes differently here,” my daughter said aloud, although she had to be reacting

to the onslaught

of my increasingly louder thoughts.

Malachi whipped his head to stare at her. “What are you telling her that for?”

“Because she deserves to understand everything, and I’m doing my best to put it all

together,” Stella

retorted in a harsh tone unlike her previous cool calm.

To me, she said, “I don’t mean it’s like time travel or anything like that. It’s just that here

in the enclave,

separated from the outside world, it’s easy to drift along without a solid knowledge of the

passing of time. You shouldn’t feel badly about it, Mother. It’s the same for everyone here,

but for us in particular.”

“No bills to pay, no real responsibilities, every need of desire catered to,” I said with a look

at my grandfather. “The privilege of being the king’s granddaughter, right? Keep us

content but stu pid?”

“That’s ridiculous,” Malachi said. “If anything, all I’ve done since you got here was try to

help you become better. And how am I repaid? You brought a snake into my henhouse!

What choice have you given me, Lanie, but to throw you all out at once?”
