The door opened slowly and Neil peeked his head in. “What happened?” His gold-flecked eyes

were lit with concern.

Damian jutted out his jaw. “I had him and fucking Khyan showed up and let him escape.”

Neil’s brows knit together. “Khyan? I thought you banished him.”

Damian glowered at him. “You were dead, too, and Terric and I brought you back to life.

Someone restored him.”

Chase scrunch his nose. “This was no accident.”

Casey chuckled. “I shall now and forevermore call you Captain Obvious,” he said with a fake
