Chadstone felt the corner of his mouth curl up in a mirthless smile. The things mortals knew but refused to admit to themselves - there were eyes in the shadows, watching the mortals, but they watched all the time. Mortals only sensed the presence of the shadow-born when they were alone. Minka’s deep-seeded fear, passed on from her mother but borne to fruition with instinct, was well-founded. Mortals were too right to fear the eyes in the shadows, because those eyes belonged to the Ancients, and every moment the Ancients weren’t watching, they were planning.
Planning someone’s demise.
