The Sons of Adam: The sequel of The Immortal Collection (A Saga of the Ancient Family Book 2) (34 page)
The team of surgeons had arrived heavily escorted from New York in a helicopter and they had all been transferred off the Belle island. Nagorno had been sure to send a small private army with them in case more Sons of Adam appeared, but nobody came to stop them from leaving.
After several hours in surgery, the transplant operation had been a success. The heart seemed to be compatible, although Lür wasn't sure if he was glad about that or not.
Urko had to be given a sedative to get him to sleep.
Adana was finally dead, but Adriana Alameda was as well. A relief from a terror that had lasted for thousands of years, and the sorrow of a joy that had lasted just one year and would pain him for centuries.
How long would it take Urko to get over that?
He thought, concerned.
That was when he heard footsteps and the murmurs of a conversation that was getting closer. He didn't want company right then, so he stood up and went inside the building of the clinic, ready to watch over his two children.
He never knew that the shadows in the garden were Gunnarr and Marion Adamson. And he never heard the conversation they had.
"What happened in there, Gunnarr?" Marion asked. "Why did you have to kill Adriana? Your father is never going to forgive us for this."
"She's not dead. Adriana and I planned it together before we came. I knew that I had to appease Adana's thirst for vengeance, and that she wouldn't let my family go without leaving a body behind. During the flight I gave Adriana some fungus dust, something that a man called Skoll once taught me. Her heart isn't beating right now, but it will start again in a few hours."
They were both silent. They were beyond concern.
"What I wasn't expecting was my father's reaction," Gunnarr continued. “Killing Adana has condemned all the members of the Ancient Family. The Sons of Adam will come after us, and now that you're exiled, you can't do much to help us."
"So you need to beat them at their own game," Marion said. "The Sons of Adam are tied to a promise and they have to fulfill it. You know what that means, don't you?"
"I do, believe me. I do."
"You're in charge now, Gunnarr. And you'll have to decide what to do with that power."
They looked at each other in silence. There was not going back.
