Leilani.
"No one knew." Jarek answered coldly, his eyes landing on and holding everything but my face. "He was erased from history. His name was wiped clean from every book there is that should speak of him and for that ."
"Why?" I asked softly, unable to wrap my head around this new concept.
"Because he was unruly." Jay answered without missing a beat. "He was impossible to control. He and your father were two of a kind, Lycans who were too powerful, they were the ones to start the cult now popularly known as the dark knights..."
"But there are more dark knights now..."
"Just six." He answered, saying the word ’six’ like it was vomit. "Six who are nothing but puppets compared to the real deal."
"Oh."
"The only person who knew of Theon’s existence was your father and everyone who knew them says that even after his exile, they still stuck together like two peas in a pod."
"And Darius?" I whispered, causing everyone to turn to me, "I mean this Darius’ father. The one who was known as Darius the mad..."
"He didn’t know shit. He was indeed mad." Jay said with a dismissive wave of his hands and I couldn’t help but wonder how he got to find out so much in such a short time.
"So you think Theon is back in NYC?" I drawled quietly, a shiver running down my spine.
"No. I think it’s one of the both of them. It could be Theon. It could be Ragnar."
When the realization of what he was gravitating towards hit me, I stilled. My entire body felt like I had been doused in cold water. I blinked up at him, because hell, at this point, I could swear that my brain had stopped functioning.
And then after a moment, I drawled; "So you’re speculating that Theon may have been the one who was killed by Malakai and the late Alpha Stormborn?"
He nodded.
Once again my breath hitched.
"How?"
"Have you ever sat down to think about it?" He asked and I immediately shook my head. "You’ve never thought about an Alpha... a supposed lycan Alpha was killed by werewolves and nothing happened? Not even any form of war? Not a sound? Nothing?!"
Now that he has mentioned it, I couldn’t help but wonder. My brows drew together as I turned to look at the others who were just as confused as I was.
When the awkward silence settled for a moment too long, Jay finally broke it by saying; "We’ll find out soon enough, okay? You do not need to worry your pretty head over stuff like that. For now."
"But how do you know all these?" I couldn’t help but ask, my curiosity peaking with each passing second. "What prompted you to do this research?"
At first, I thought that he would never answer that question because he took too long. But when he finally did, he looked straight at me and said;
"Him." He answered with a shrug. "I met him once and decided that he had to be related to you one way or the other. You need to see him, Leilani. You need to feel his aura... his presence. There’s only one other person I’ve ever felt such an aura from..." his voice trailed off and for a minute, he sounded almost... dreamy.
"Darius?" I supplied, cocking my brows at him and almost choked on my saliva when Jay’s face scrunched up.
He looked like someone who had been forced to swallow a bitter lemon as he snapped;
"Oh, hell no! eww! I mean you!"
His expression was so twisted, I would’ve laughed if the situation wasn’t so dire. But because I couldn’t stop thinking about the new information I’d just gotten, I simply smiled.
