Ethan leaned back slightly in his chair, his fingers laced together on the sleek, modern table.
He was seated in one of the smaller meeting rooms inside Nemesis HQ.
His eyes moved between Luciano, Helena, and Maya. All three wore calm expressions, but there was seriousness behind their eyes.
Letting out a quiet breath, he asked, "So… what now?"
Luciano, sitting at the head of the table, let a small smile slip through.
"Straight to the point. I like that." He glanced at Maya, then Helena. "You sure you want me to be the one to tell him?"
Both women gave him a nod.
Luciano sighed, then turned his gaze back to Ethan.
"Nemesis wants to recruit you."
"Recruit me?" Ethan raised an eyebrow, his tone even. "For what, exactly?"
Before Luciano could respond, Helena leaned forward, her voice calm but firm. "Nemesis acts as a check and balance for Ascendants."
