when I found out she was Acacia’s younger sister, born to a Lormenia female that was not Teodoro’s mate and so they’d been shipped out of the Sierra Leone rain forest before she was born. With Acacia dead I put two and two together,” Cole told them.
    “And decided to keep this all to yourself?” Ezra asked.
    Eli frowned. He’d been hoping that Ezra would keep their silence, that their past would not become a part of this conversation.
    Nick, X, and Rome knew what had happened with them in the Sierra Leone rain forest, and Eli suspected their mates did as well. And because Ezra had used what happened to them to help Shya get better, the other FLs now knew as well. Nivea did not know and he did not want her hearing about the mistakes of his past. Not here and definitely not now.
    “The why and how no longer matters.”
    Baxter spoke up from his spot in the corner. He moved slowly until he was standing near Elder Alamar. “This time would have come regardless of the events preceding it.”
    “What are you talking about?” Rome asked. “Do you know something you haven’t been telling me? Something else, that is.”
    Eli stared at the Overseer as he came closer to the table. When Baxter looked up at him he knew exactly why. That conversation he’d thought he was overhearing weeks ago, the one that predicted the future of the Shadows, Eli had not overheard it at all. He’d seen Baxter and Elder Alamar having the conversation because he was a Seer, just as Baxter had told him. That’s why he’d heard nothing but whispers when he’d put a glass to the wall. It was a vision that he had no idea when had actually taken place. But right at this moment, there was no doubt that he’d seen Baxter and the Elder talking, conversing about what they should do about Magdalena’s vision.
    “ A morte ea destruição. O fim completo da corrida ou uma mudança catastrófica em quem eo que somos virá. Vai chover sobre as cabeças daqueles que não tinham nada a ver com essa luta e um será encarregado de nos ver passar. Um deles será responsável para o futuro de todos nós. ” Elder Alamar spoke solemnly in Portuguese.
    Baxter nodded and then looked to Rome. “It was predicted by Magdalena, the Seer of all tribes. She warned of death and destruction. The complete end of the race or a catastrophic change in who and what you all are would come. It will rain down upon the heads of those who had nothing to do with this fight and one will be tasked with seeing us through, she said. One will be responsible for the future of all.”
    “Why didn’t you tell us this sooner?” Eli asked, his chest still heaving at the revelation, the acceptance of what he was.
    It was Elder Alamar who spoke to him this time. “The job of a Seer is to see what has been and what will be. It is not their job to change the course shifters will take.”
    Eli nodded, frowning at the Elder. “So they are privy to all this information but prevented from doing anything about it? That’s a fucking waste!”
    Rome lifted a hand to silence Eli. “It is their way,” the Leader said. “It is what they were used to doing.”
    Everyone looked to Rome at that moment, the FLs on the speakerphone remaining silent. Kalina reached for her husband’s hand. Rome laced his fingers with hers, his face grim, as he said without qualm or reservation, “We make our own future. From this moment on, we decide how this will end. We are the Shadow Shifters and we will prevail.”

CHAPTER 16
    She was unlike any woman Dorian had ever met. From the moment she walked up onto that porch and looked at him he’d known it for certain, just as he’d known that he would follow her anywhere.
    “You’re fucking fantastic!” she whispered, her face pressed against the wall as Dorian pumped deeply into her from behind.
    They were in her hotel suite and she’d just come from the shower. He’d been on his phone, still trying to hook up with any of the surviving agents that had
