The Myths and Legends book stared up atall the craziness, I’d forgotten about it Sitting down, I cracked open the dusty thing and began searching for the section Aiden had mentioned in New York

I had no luck in the part written in English Sighing, I flipped to the front of the book and started skiibberish to es in, not because I recognized any of the writing, but because I recognized the sye

It was a torch turned down

There were several pages written in ancient Greek, co that instead of trig at the Covenant, but what did I know? Then again, the pures were taught the old language

Aiden knew the old language--kind of nerdy, in a totally hot way

If I could find out et the evidence needed to prove that so crazy was up with Telly and Ro to do hat had happened, but it waswe needed was an uprising… or one of us killing another pure-blood

Chapter 8

LATER THAT NIGHT, WHEN I WAS HALF ASLEEP, I HEARD the fa I rose ontothedown ainst him He either melted them or used the element of air to unlatch them from the other side

He stopped just inside the doorway His eyes were a soft, tawny glow in the dark

Surprised to see hi "You’re not supposed to be in my dorm this late, Seth"

"Has that ever stopped e of aze on "

"And here I thought I was getting better at blocking you"

"You are You did really well at practice today"

"Is that why you’re here?" I heard him kick off his shoes "Because I’ht now?"

"Maybe" I could hear the s to think you found your own bed "

"You ed "Seth, about Jackson--"

"I’ve already told you I didn’t have anything to do with that And ould I do such a bad, bad thing?"

"I don’t knohy Maybe because you’re psychotic?"

Seth laughed "‘Psychotic’ is such an extreuilty about my actions"

I arched a brow "My point exactly"

When he pulled back the covers, I scooted over and watched hi uard detail They’ll know you’re in here"

"I passed Linard on my way in" He brushed back a stand of hair that had fallen across ered "He toldthe rules I told him to bite me"

"And what did he say to that?"

Seth’s hand dropped tothe thin strap of my tank top The cord inside me started to hu to report me to Marcus"

My heart dropped a little There was no doubt in my mind that meant Aiden would hear about this; Aiden had to be aware of Seth’s sleeping habits Knots formed in my stomach as I stared at Seth I’ wrong Tension still dug into myabout it" He leaned over, gently guiding lided under the strap, and I shivered as his rough knuckles brushed over my collarbone "He’s just the Dean"

"And my uncle," I pointed out "I doubt he likes the idea of boys sleeping in my bed"

"Hmm, but I’m not just any boy" He tipped his head down His hair fell forward, shielding his face "I’m the Apollyon"

My chest rose sharply "The rules… still apply to you and irl who couldn’t follow a siled his head, which caused his nose to brush ht now, is the least shocking rule you’ve broken"

I flushed as I putthat last inch or two that separated us "People change," I said lamely

"So hio crazy, de that I pay attention to it My toes curled "Did you come here to talk about the rules I’ve broken or what?"

"No I actually had a reason for co"
