CHAPTER 11

A young man, blue-eyed, walked through the door into a room where another sat, his legs crossed and his head thrown back. 

"Sir," he spoke, lightly bowing his head, chestnut hair falling messily over his face. 

The man in the chair twirled his seat, his muscles under the white suit he wore straining, as he signed with his fingers, "Hello, Lucas. What is it?" 

His pale gray eyes, almost white, rose to meet Lucas's. 

"I have…news." 

"And what is it?" 

"Your brother…I mean, Sir Xavian, he got…" Lucas paused, swallowing. 

The man stared at him and slowly stood up from his seat. He took a step toward him and put a hand on his shoulder, his entire demeanor physically intimidating. The young man had to take a step back. 

"What are you stalling for, kid?" he signed. 

Lucas shook his head. "I meant, Sir Xavian got a caregiver." 

He paused. "A caregiver?" 

"Yes, she—she's human."
