this particular case, he’d called Geoffrey out as an example of how much better off he was than if he’d been left to hide in the shadows with humans.
    “Geoffrey further claims that prior to this knowledge, he’d already begun trying to find a way out and in the meantime, was saving as many of the kidnapped women as he possibly could from their intended fate.
    “He was also in bed with the human doctor, Shelton, and, together, they falsified documentation and released women when possible. They were unable to save many, but where they could, they did. And although Xavier thinks no one knew, Geoffrey knew of Xavier’s inability to produce a male offspring.”
    He paused, looking at Dev and Damian carefully.
    “He was responsible for the fact that your mates are with you on this day.” And mine , he thought silently.
    “Bullshit,” Damian shouted. “He was responsible for putting my mate’s life in danger. How can you believe his fucking lies, Rom? Does he have a super-secret brainwashing skill that we aren’t aware of too?”
    Rom almost laughed. Almost. And that most definitely wasn’t like him. Ignoring Damian’s outburst, he continued.
    “There is a rogue whose skill is sensing a vampire’s Moira, so when your Moiras were born, Geoffrey found out. And together, with the human doctor, they got them out.” He kept the fact secret for now that they’d also been responsible for saving his.
    “He also protected your mates when they were captive. As much as he could, without revealing himself to Xavier and putting his own life, and theirs, in jeopardy. His methods don’t always make sense, I’ll give you that, but Dev, he was the one responsible for the lapse in shrouding on the day you saved Kate. While he didn’t orchestrate that kidnapping, he wanted the lords to take the entire compound, Xavier with it. And Damian, he took your mate because his was being threatened. He knew you would come for her and had he not returned with Analise, his own Moira would have perished.”
    “I don’t believe a fucking word you’re saying,” Damian mumbled.
    He did, he just didn’t like it. Because of Rom’s incredible array of powers, he had the ability to sense when one spoke truth.
    “How many others are like Geoffrey within Xavier’s ranks, ready to stage a coup?” Damian asked.
    “He doesn’t know, but suspects there may be several others. It wasn’t something they discussed at the water cooler, per se.”
    “What’s his endgame here? Why not just tell us all of this when Damian captured him, instead of kidnapping his mate?” Dev asked, genuinely confused.
    “He would not put his own Moira in danger. I think I can honestly say any of us would have done the same thing in his position. As far as his endgame, he wants the same thing we want—to wipe Xavier, his rogues and his minions out. But he needs our help.”
    “How much intel does he have?” Dev asked.
    “A lot, but not everything. As you can imagine, Xavier keeps things buttoned up pretty tight, so it’s taken years to gain the knowledge he has now. He believes he knows where all of the kidnapped women are being held. Xavier doesn’t think anyone knows where the children are kept, but Geoffrey has identified five locations. He thinks there may be a few more. He’s also been trying to download records on a thumb drive when possible, but that’s risky. So, he has some of what we need, but not all.”
    “Then he goes back in,” Damian snapped. “And he stays there until he has every fucking shred of information we need to destroy Xavier and every fucking compound and save every single innocent man, woman and child. And if he gets himself murdered in the process, well … karma’s an evil bitch.”
    “Agreed,” Rom replied.
    After two hours of heated discussion, they had a plan and Rom was chomping at the bit to get to Sarah.
    “Take me to Sarah,” Rom demanded as they all stood to depart. He would not wait one more minute to be with
