Neriah
I turned to Rian, trying to look confused.
For some reason, the urge to protect Corvus heightened. "I don't understand."
"Don't act dumb, Neriah and don't tell me you're considering his proposal. When a Shadowblade breaks the blood oath, he gets corrupted. Corvus already showed signs of corruption…"
"He said his sister was sacrificed because of her pheromones… is it true?" I asked watching him closely.
Rian paused for a while but didn't say anything. "It's more complicated than you think, Neriah but if I were you, I wouldn't take whatever he says to heart. They're half-lies and half-truths twisted in a way that suits him."
"And how about you? How about your family? Are you willing to tell the truth? Corvus didn't seem mad. There must be a reason for him to break the oath. You cannot tell me otherwise. You cannot tell me that he woke up one morning and decided to…"
"Neriah!" Rian interrupted me. "He's gotten to you already."
