Elise -- Upstate New York -- ???? Jumping ahead to figure out where Im going. Change in whats posted -- Elise takes the picture of Joshua as a two year old with ferns. She also photographs all the adoption evidence. Missing -- one big scary fight with -- something -- I have no clue. # Are you missing a youngling? Elise handed Cabot the photo of Joshua that shed taken from the mantle. Cabot whistled. Obviously we are, although this is the first Ive heard of it. This kid looks like a Tatterskein. Hes seventeen? Hell be eighteen in March, Bethy said. Hes a few months older than Seth, Cabot murmured. Elise handed him the photo of Joshua with the woman who claimed to be his mother. Her? Oh! Cabot said with surprise. Dont know who she is but I remember that car. That was the Princes car. He said he sold it right before he got married. It wasnt a family car. Shit! Shit! Oh, this makes so much sense now! What? Elise said. Cabot pointed to the second photo. If this female drove away with the Princes car, she might have gotten a whole lot more off him than just a car. I think this is Seths older half-brother. Alexander would be pissed to hell. Hes been breeding the Tatterskein line for almost four hundred years, maybe longer. The first Prince of London was one of Alexanders own children. Someone slipped in and got stud service off his best bloodline. Hes been breeding his own people like dogs? Elise said. Cabot shrugged. He needs to. If he didnt strengthen the bloodlines, there wouldnt have been wolves strong enough to hold the more powerful territories. New York wasnt the first city he had to take hold himself. It was Athens first. Then Rome. Then London. Each time he had to move and stand as the citys Prince until he could breed a bloodline strong enough to hold the territory. This was the first that Elise had heard of this but it made sense. Is that why he had another kid after so many years? Yeah. Cabot said slowly, as if he wasnt sure. Or at least, thats what some of the Thanes think. Alexander doesnt usually explain himself. His son Isaiah will be Prince of New York. Maybe. Everyone was suitably impressed with Isaiah until Seth showed up. Blew the doors off him. Joshua has a half-brother? Bethy locked onto the one thing she must have understood. Cabot ignored the girl. No wonder Alexander wanted this kid. He might be Seths heir, not me. You mean if something happens to Seth, Joshua would be the Prince? Elise said. Cabot nodded. Its why Alexander moved Seth to New York. In theory, I might be able to take the territory but maybe Im just blowing smoke. Boston is massive. It could just burn through me, make me feral. Alexander wanted to be sure if the Prince fell, he had someone that could take on the power without going feral. Im not sure if even Alexander could hold both New York and Boston. Boston was a dangerous place to live now but Seth Tatterskein was keeping most of the worst out merely by breathing. It was good news to know that there was a second person that could take on the mantle of power, but alarming that the most immoral of the witch covens was trying to scoop him up. What did they plan on doing to Joshua?
