“But you know where they are,” Justin insisted, looking up at Chase.
“I do now,” Chase replied. “But I didn’t for the longest time. Elliot was over twenty years old by the time Tommy mated him and brought him home. Tereza is ten. I never knew about them until just recently.”
“Do you…” Justin swallowed hard. His eyes dropped down to Chase’s chest. “Do you think we can find him?”
“I’m sure of it.” Chase smiled when Justin’s head popped up. He leaned over and planted a kiss on Justin’s forehead. “I know people who know people, remember?”
“I don’t want you contacting anyone you used to work with, Chase,” Taylor said from the other side of Justin as he propped his head on his hand. “The less they know about us, the better.”
“I agree, but I do have one friend I can talk to. If he can’t find out who Justin’s twin is, no one can.”
“Why do you think Lowell Erickson was all fired up to—” Justin’s head snapped up so fast that he hit the top of it on Chase’s chin. Both men grunted from the impact. Justin rubbed the top of his head while Chase rubbed his chin.
Taylor shook his head. “You were saying?”
“Oh, Samuel said something funny when he was talking to me and Danny. I didn’t realize it at the time but”—Justin shrugged—”maybe it’s important.”
“What did he say, love?”
“He said his father was nice enough to spread his seed to every different species that exists.”
Chase stilled. “Every species?”
Justin nodded. “What did he mean?”
“We need to talk to Dominic and Zacarius.” Chase rolled to the side of the bed and stood, reaching down for his clothes. “Whatever Lowell Erickson is up to, I’m not liking it. He seems to be planting his seed all over the place then selling his children. That’s not good.”
“Ya think?” Taylor snickered. “The man is a monster.”
“After dealing with the Teacher and Philip Spencer, I refuse to believe that Lowell Erickson isn’t up to something. No one is that big of an asshole without a reason. He has to be up to something, and we need to find out what.”
“Why?” Justin asked as he climbed from the bed and started to get dressed as well. “I don’t want anything to do with him if he’s such a jerk.”
“Baby,” Chase said, “it’s not the simple. If Lowell Erickson is trying to spread his seed throughout all of the species, than he’s planning something.”
“How can you know?” Justin asked. “Maybe he’s just a slut.”
“Because”—Chase raked a hand through his hair—“he knows about all of the paranormal species, and that makes him very dangerous.”
Chapter 14
Chase was worried, and he was having a hard time hiding it from his mates. They kept giving him strange searching looks as they all descended the stairs and walked toward the prince’s study, where Devlin and Zacarius were supposed to be waiting.
He just couldn’t shake the feeling that Lowell Erickson was up to something. Very few people knew about all of the species, not unless they were one of the ones in hiding. Chase knew because of his former work and because of his relatives and the people had grown close to.
He worried that whatever Lowell Erickson was planning was going to hurt his mates or the people he cared about. He couldn’t let that happen, but he didn’t know how to stop it. He didn’t know Lowell Erickson, and he doubted there was anyone alive on the planet that really did. Samuel and Danny certainly didn’t. They seemed astonished at the things their father had done.
Chase stopped outside the prince’s study and knocked on the door.
“Come in.”
Chase opened the door and stepped inside. He was glad to see that Devlin and Zacarius were still there, sitting next to each other on the couch. The prince sat at his desk with Danny standing behind him, the man’s hands resting on the prince’s shoulders.
“I think we have trouble,” Chase said as he ushered his mates into the room and then shut the door. He turned to look at Danny, hating the fact that he had to bring the man’s father into the conversation, but, well, the man was the conversation. “Danny, I need to know everything you can tell me about your father.”
Danny’s eyebrows skyrocketed. “My father?”
“Yes.”
Danny blinked. “Can I ask why first?”
“Samuel said something to Justin that caught his attention, and I believe that it is important.”
“What?” Danny’s eyes shot to Justin. “You mean about the twins?”
“No, but that is part of it. Samuel said that your father was nice enough to spread his seed to every different species that exists.”
“So, he’s a jackass. We already knew that.”
“No, wait, chéri,” Dominic said, grabbing Danny’s hand as the prince looked from Chase to Danny. “Chase is right. This is important.”
“Why?”
“Because,” Dominic said, “if your father is spreading his seed to every known species, then he knows about every known species, and that means he’s either really smart or really insane.”
“Or both,” Chase added.
“I don’t understand,” Danny said. “So what if he knows about every known species. How does that make him insane?”
“There are very few of us that know about all of the different species, Danny,” Prince Zacarius said, looking grim. “And even fewer of us that are alive to talk about them.”
Danny’s eyes darted around the room. It was clear that his confusion was growing. “I don’t—”
“Danny,” Dominic said as he pulled his mate down to sit on his lap and wrapped his arms around him, “vampires, wolf shifters, and humans are not the only species on this earth. There are others that are not spoken of.”
Danny gaped. “Others?”
“What sort of others?” Justin asked, stepping further into the room.
“I’m afraid it’s not for us to say, Justin,” Zacarius replied. “As Dominic has said, they are not spoken of.”
“Are they dangerous?”
“They can be under the right circumstances.”
“Just how many other species are we talking about here?” Taylor asked. “You don’t have to
