Rowan Kingsley's POV
I ducked as the knife whizzed past my ear and stuck in the wooden beam behind me. Elias Beaumont stood in the doorway, another blade already in his hand.
"Get out of my house before I put the next one between your eyes," he growled.
"I'm not here to fight," I said, keeping my hands where he could see them. "I'm here to help Amara."
"How did you get past the guards?" Viktor asked from behind Elias.
"The same way the Guardians will get in if you don't listen to me," I answered. "Your security is good against werewolves, but not against what's coming."
I'd been tracking Amara Kings for two years. Watching from a distance, waiting for the right time. I'd seen everything – her imprisonment, her torture at Elias's hands, her escape with Lyra's aid. All part of the prophecy that had ruled my life since I was a kid.
"Who are you?" Elias asked.
