Chapter 491: The Child Will Be Mine

The words that tumbled from the spy's mouth, left Aed Ruad unsettled and cold as dread skittered down his spine. He stared at the spy for a long moment as his wide eyes tried to search for a trace of falsehood on his face. The blood bond he had formed with Siora was severed and that was why he was feeling so horrible. "How?" he asked, because that was the only word he could speak. 

The spy pursed his lips at first and then looked down at the snow covering his boots. "It was all a ploy. Adrianna and Ileus and Anastasia were involved in it. I came to know that they had actually set a trap for Siora and she fell right into it." 

How could it be? She had planned it so well. His informant had given him correct information. Was he also involved in the plan? He stabbed his fingers in his hair as a shudder wracked his body. "A trap?" his throat bobbed. This was a nightmare. How could he not sense it?
