Evander's POV
I stared at the list of names Zaniel had handed me. After dismissing him, I leaned back in my chair and opened the file, inhaling deeply as I prepared myself for what I might uncover.
The first thing that caught my eye was the number of names—ten, all men. My brows furrowed as I scanned the list, and frustration started to bubble inside me.
"Why are there so many men on this list?" I muttered under my breath. My grip on the file tightened as my thoughts spiraled. My world had always been carefully controlled, with barely a handful of people around me. Still, my brother… he seemed to have surrounded himself with a different kind of crowd, a world I didn't fully understand, but of course I had respect for him no matter what he did.
