“I might be able to find the kids. But it will require my mate to trust me and do something that’s repugnant to her.” Her eyes widened at that. “What?” Knowing the exact stupidity his brother had in mind, Illarion took his arm and vigorously shook his head no. Maxis ignored him. “It’ll be fine.” Illarion rolled his eyes and mouthed a silent curse. Blaise burst out laughing, then stopped as he realized the rest of them weren’t in on their private conversation. Clearing his throat, he slinked off to a corner to examine a spot on the wall, even though he was blind. Seraphina scowled. “What’s going on?” Max hesitated as he swept his gaze around everyone gathered there. This motley hodgepodge was his family and he didn’t want to risk losing any of them. “I can track the children.” Illarion growled, knowing just how stupid it would be. “There’s no way,” Sera said affirmatively. “They have them shielded. If it was possible, I would have done it already.”
