wouldn’t have known about the Angel in you until later, at which time they would have killed you for being imperfect.”
    Edgar spoke very little about the Families when I was growing up. All I know is they’re like a communal order, keeping outsiders—Norms, or normal human beings—from ever knowing that the fairy tales and legends they grew up reading were true. It’s a mixing pot of all creatures ever created, like the United Nations, but they’re mainly run by Dragon shifters, since we’re the majority at the moment. I never knew they had those types of plans for me. If I had, I never would’ve gone through with the idea to let them know about me. Did Edgar not know about that? Maybe like me, he had been cut off from our world. I just don’t understand. Did he want me to walk into danger as a lesson?
    Igraine gives a sad smile. “There wasn’t a day we didn’t think about you or want to get you. We kept our distance for your safety. Then, Edgar contacted us, letting us know of the plan you had come up with. Erasing your memories and entering Spearwood as if you had grown up as an uneducated—in our world—Outcast. That you wanted to change things and be with your friends. He told us you were a spit fire like your father and that there wasn’t anything he could do. You would’ve found a way to Spearwood one way or another, and either way you would be at threat. So we made sure you had the finest of the Vox implemented to guard you, especially in your untrained state. Our connection with Michael helped with that.”
    I frown. “Michael Perlow?” flashes of him turning into a black card come to the front of my mind. I saw it happen just before Roseman did the shotty mind warp on me.
    Igraine nods.
    “But he’s a P.A. I don’t understand.”
    “What?” several of the guys asks. Dante looks at me. His lip has swelled more. “What are you talking about?”
    “I saw him change into a black card, and he was able to control the computer system through the walls. I saw it all just before Roseman tried to do the mind warp on me.”
    Igraine nods again. “He’s been a P.A. since just before Aibek was imprisoned. He died at the hands of Aibek, and the families had him modified into a P.A., wanting his memories still and the ability to control him. We didn’t know Roseman was a traitor until you all came to our house.”
    “Are you saying all P.A.’s were once humans at one point?” Horace asks.
    “Yes, or something else. The families get them from all species. Then they’re given to Spearwood and other schools as slaves. We’ve been trying to shut it down for years, but nothing we’ve done has changed anything.”
    “How are they able to change their appearance then, if they’re using the body of someone real?” Horace presses.
    “Advanced holographic technology. It’ll make them look however, but underneath they’re still the person they were before they died and were rebooted as a P.A.”
    What a sick thing to do.  “If he was being controlled, how was he able to manipulate which group I was put into? I saw Roseman control him.”
    Elex smiles.  “Mich was always one step ahead of the game. He had a device installed in his brain while he was still alive. It allows him to override all commands. When he follows them, it’s his choice, to make Roseman believe that he has control. We doubted Roseman would know the group he was putting you into were all members of the Vox, since he was not a chosen one himself. One thing we didn’t count on was the boy being a mole for him. We didn’t know that a child like him would know the magic needed to release Aibek, let alone have the power to harness it.”
    “You mean Triton, don’t you?” Amr says.
    “Yes.”
    “He’s not a traitor!” Horace snaps.
    “After everything he did today, how can you say that?” Amr asks. “You have to remember what he did, letting Aibek out and fighting us, or did you forget who broke your
