Zia stared outside of the dark windows of the limousine at the huge
high-rise building in the heart of Inferno. Volso Industries was a place
she had always heard of growing up but never thought she would see
it, let alone be invited inside its polished silver and black walls.
“Are you sure you are up for this? My children aren’t exactly friendly,”
Corven said, his Romanian accent softening his words. Like most vampires,
Corven was stunning. He had straight black hair that was falling to the
center of his chest, dark eyes, and an elegance that only the supernatural
could pull off.
Zia smiled at him. “I grew up in an orphanage in the slums of this city.
You really think I’m going to be worried about some high-class kids? I have
a job to do, and I’ll do it. The real question is: are you up for this? Truth has
a funny way of damaging as much as lies.”
“As much as it might pain me, it’s a necessary task.” Corven crossed his
long legs. “I want to retire and wander the world again. I can’t do that as a
patriarch or one of the Blood Lords. I want to know the family is going to
be taken care of in my absence. The problem is, I love them all, and I can’t
choose.”
“There is also the minor problem of someone killing off a family
member,” Zia added, though she doubted Corven had forgotten.
“Dhampir children rarely play fair when such a prize is before them.
Kristofer pissed off the wrong person. That much is clear, but I still don’t
know why. He was such a sweet, kind boy. You should know that they
might try to kill you too.”
“I would be surprised and disappointed if they didn’t try at least once. I
can’t promise I will find the killer, but I’ll do my best. I can only deliver a
fair assessment of each one of them. You know my magic and what it’s
capable of.”
Corven’s dark eyes studied her. “Yes. I can’t believe our stoic chairman,
Cladius, had a bastard child hiding all this time. That you also inherited his
truth telling abilities and powerful magic from your mother’s side makes
you truly unique. How did he end up finding you?”
Zia shifted uncomfortably. “I found him. Truth magic is a rare ability,
and there was only one vampiric candidate I knew of. When I was fifteen
and living in an impossible situation, I sent him a letter. I didn’t think he
would respond at all. Next thing I knew, my foster home was raided, and I
was shipped off to school in another country. I see Claudius as a boss, not a
father, just so we are clear.”
Corven nodded. “I understand entirely. If it wasn’t for my long
friendship with him, I doubt he would have put you forward as a candidate
to deal with my problem. He’s a powerful vampire, which makes you a
target as his blood. You must understand that?”
“I do, which is why I’ve got excellent control of my magic and good
self-defense and fighting skills. There is nothing your children can do to
frighten me,” Zia replied.
