“Don’t.”

“Or what, kotoynok? What will you do?”

“Fuck off, I’m warning you. You’ll regret it.”

“Watch that mouth, or you’ll be screaming out for mercy later.”

Blush coaxed Blair’s high cheeks.

It seemed like they were going to rip each other’s clothes off and fuck right in front of me.

And while I was all for sex, this was hitting a little close to discomfort, as she still didn’t know all her blood ties.

“And,” I broke the tension and showed her another portrait of a seventeen-year-old blonde Prince. “This is your baby brother, Joseph “Joey” Edward DeLoughrey.”

“Joey, ah, he’s too cute.” Her awe only grew as her curiosity did as she asked me the next vital question. “And who’s my younger sister?”

My lips parted and opened, and then I closed them, wondering how best to deliver the message.

“What is it? She’s not dead, is she? Right? She’s not dead.” Panic bled into her voice as she incessantly tried to convince herself.

I waved my hand, making a cutting action. “No. No, please don’t jump to conclusions.”

“Then?”

“It’s just we haven’t found her yet.” I explained, carefully measuring my words as my throat felt stiff. “I have an inkling of who she can be, but nothing is concrete. If you give me some more time, I’m sure we will be able to find her and bring your family together.”

Her gaze became deeply pensive, a shred of sadness burning deeply in them. It wasn’t easy being apart from the ones you loved, but it was a sacrifice you had to make.

“I want to meet them, Breelynn and Joey. I don’t want to wait any longer.” She insisted with conviction, her back straightened, her head held high.

“We can arrange that; however, we must take it slow and be cautious. Just like myself, your sister has enemies, so we have to be careful that they don’t use you as a ploy.”

Her shoulder fell inward in some sense of defeat. “How soon?”

“I’m not sure yet. Details like these need to be planned. I don’t want to risk losing you too.”

She clicked her tongue. “Not to be rude or anything, but why would you care?”

“Because there are others looking forward to meeting and getting to know you.”

“And who will that be?”

“Me.” I revealed, letting her know our true relationship. “Blood of your blood.”

Her jaw dropped, dumbfounded.

“What the fuck are you going on about?” Kon spat, his arm shooting out in front of his wife in defense, guarding his wife. “Are you saying all you wanted from me was to use my wife for your dirty schemes?”

It made sense that was their initial thought.

After all, to get those you want to join your side, you deceive and manipulate, but there was no need to deceive on my part.

“Your wife is my cousin. Our great-great-grandmother Queen Brianna Elizabeth DeLoughrey was the first in our line to start the DeLoughrey Dynasty.”

“You have no proof of what you’re saying.” Kon sounded aggravated.

Ignoring his little fit, I said nonchalantly. “A simple DNA test will prove it.”
