Even though they had all been born in the same circumstances, none of Gabriel’s siblings had been very similar. Their views on the world, and their morals in general, had been muddled since their birth. Kaena’s badgering about the dangers of wolves now seemed incredibly hollow, given her past liaisons with them, and certainly their own dual nature. They had been intended to be soldiers, bodies for Inferni’s rise to power. Two of them were dead. Gabriel alone had reached the summit, and this felt like a shallow accomplishment.
Both ears swiveled backwards, and one of his hands rushed to cover the blank paper. Gabriel turned his head, amber eyes narrowing, and found himself struck suddenly by how little his sister really had changed. He could remember her using that tone before, when they were younger, in the hall of the church. His right hand curled, and the scar it bore tightened. “Yeah,” he relented, and moved his hand so she could see the blank page. “I was drawing. Trying to, at least,” he added, frowning.
