Chapter 101: Chapter 101 It’s Been A While, My Dear Brother

**Soren’s POV

It had been a long time since I’d had a knife held to my throat, but this wasn’t the first time.

I didn’t move, but chuckled, “It’s been a while, my dear brother.”

He didn’t speak. I glanced around my surroundings. In the darkness, it looked to be an underground tunnel.

“I was wondering when you will show up. I have to say, I'm impressed with how patient you are.” I tried to wiggle and make myself comfortable. “Dear brother, have you missed me?”

“Don’t move.”

I almost laughed. My sight had adjusted to the darkness.

I stared up into my half-brother’s narrowed gaze as he grimaced at me, the emotion in his eyes mirroring the way I felt about him deep into my bones. “You haven’t changed a bit.”

“Do you know what the f*ck you’ve been doing?” He growled as he inserted the blade of the knife into the soft tissue of my neck, the dagger sinking just far enough that a ripple of pain passed through me, and I felt a trickle of blood slide down my throat.
