Not that Carlo could argue Adonis’s question wasn’t an excellent one, but it was a dick move.
“Because I don’t deserve to die, maybe?” Silva’s eyes snapped with anger.
“Bonita, I meant no offense. But why would she want you dead? If she has so much power, what would you matter? Your attachment with Kalinda is hardly noteworthy compared to that.” The Alpha shrugged, unfazed by Silva and her attitude.
The Fae Queen took a step forward and doubled down. “Because my death leads to hers. She is the Ales and I am hercosantiór.”
Adonis nodded, as if he’d already known.
A rumble filled Carlo’s chest. “You weretestingus?”
“Of course. If you aren’t open to sharing information, why should I be? I knew of their connection, but I had no knowledge of Heath and what happened.”
Arturo and Alexi nodded. It was weird to get such an easy agreement from the two Alphas.
“Killing Silva, and by extension me, would have weakened the Mage Council of Encantado and the Lombardi Pack.” Kalinda tossed a look to her mate.
“And by hurting them, it would extend to my pack,” Arturo added.
“An excellent move, if you want others to fall. So why, Nanshe? Can you answer that?”
“Because Skuld wants to rule the world, why else?”
And the room went wild.
“I swear, Dominic, as much as I love you, that bite on my ass really started a whole slew of problems,” Zoey whined.
The Alpha of the Lombardi chuckled in a dark and sensual way that made his mate blush. “I’d bite you all over again, love. Norn or not, I couldn’t resist that ass even knowing what would happen.”
Yep, they were all losing their minds. One wolf, Seelie, Unseelie, Guardian, and Witch Doctor at a time. What a group they made.

“EXPLAIN,” ARTURO DEMANDED, his growl filling the room.
