Capítulo 91: Chapter 91

Towering over the dryad, Jim stood somehow taller and menacing with sparks crackling at his fingertips. “You say that like you have a choice.Tell me who holds the bounty over Nathan.Tell me everything you know!” he commanded, and Nathan recognized the power in Jim’s voice that he had heard when his brother controlled him and Gabriel in the Gatehouse.

The sound made Nathan tremble. He was so close to his brother, he could touch him, but he felt leagues away. The dryad was cowering now, so suddenly that Nathan had to wonder if there was something about Jim that had changed, something that went deeper than he could see.

But even though the dryad could not overcome Jim’s power, all he said was, “If you face the keeper of the bounty…it will already be over.”

Jim went so stock-still and rigid that it made Nathan twitch to do something,anything. He was ready to speak up again, take his brother’s arm, tackle his brother to the ground if he had to, but it was too late.
