Chapter 66

"We? This has nothing do with you."

Levi's eyes hardened to two blue crystals, his casual arrogance turning to an unquestioned power. "She lived in my territory all that time without registering and who the fuck knows what ramifications for my House are going to come to light. So, yeah. 'We.'"

This was not the "we" I'd had in mind.

I followed him to the limo waiting in a reserved parking spot, biting back my retort that he'd only been House Head for five of those fifteen years so maybe tone the drama down a notch.

I switched tactics. "You're not trained as an investigator. Let me root through her life and I'll share my findings with you."

"All your findings or just the ones you decide are relevant to me?"

I'd never withhold information that could actively hurt Levi or the House, but getting answers about Jezebels meant learning things about my magic. About me. Why did my life have to be an open book? His certainly wasn't.
