Thoth ripped his mask off, and my breath was stolen from my lungs. The pain in my ears faded as | stared at the
side of his face. You have got to be fucking kidding me. The room was completely silent except for the crackling
from the mask and the yell that fell from his lips.

it was Rowan, didn't you?"
My father paled. His eyes danced betweenand Rowan. "Amy..."
| turned to Ronnie. "Did you know?" Ronnie looked around the room, but refused to meet my eyes. | laughed, but
it was just full of my pain. "Of course you did. You are his best friend." | turned back to my dad. "Any other
secrets that you want to fess up to while we are here, father?" He winced at the name.
A new thought twisted my stomach, and I pulled my phone from my pocket. My dad tried to reach forbut |
held up a hand as | hit the screen. The phone rang as | glared at my father. "Hey baby." My mother's voice rang

"Did you know?" My voice was flat as | stared at my dad.
"Baby?" My mom's voice turned worried. "What's wrong?"

My dad winced again. Rowan stepped closer to me. "Amy, can we just talk?" His words hitlike a punch.
"What is going on?" My mom's voice started to get agitated. "Someone explain. Now!" Her commanding voice
made a few of the men around the room reel back.
My dad shut his eyes. "Ainsley..."
"Gavin Maclean, you need to explain towhat is going on." Her voice took on a little edge, but | cut in before
my dad could say anything.
"Did you know Thoth was Rowan?" My voice was still flat, but | had a tiny little spark of hope in my chest Please,

edge, which just pissedoff even more. Because | refuse to cry in front of these men. | forced my eyes to
open. "Thank you for showingexactly where | stand." | hung up the phone as my mom sputtered and slipped
it into my pocket as | turned.
"Amy wait." My dad grabbed for me. But | slammed my aura out, not holding
anything back. Everyone in the room dropped to the ground.
"Don't fucking touch me." | growled out. | turned to look back at my father, who was barely staying upright. But it
was Rowan that surprised me. He to stay up, my power pounding against his own, causing his knees to

"He might be your king...but | am your daughter. You don't get to playlike a fucking puppet and think I will

"It wasn't like that."

had to press their face into the carpet. Only Rowan and my father got to see my tears. "I put my pain on the

second before |
turned and stalked from the room.
| raced down the stairs and slammed out the front door, shifting instantly into Nix, allowing her to take over. She
made a beeline for the trees and ran out of there. She wove through the trees, diving under a fallen log as |
heard the distant slam of a door. But | stopped caring. | curled up against a tree in my mind and just focused on
breathing.
Nix ran for a few minutes longer before she called back. "Someone is following our scent."
| turned to Megan. "Shut it off."
