according to plan

Plague was fully surprised by what she said about the name they carried for so long. His eyes widened, and for a moment she couldn’t judge how he really felt about what she was saying. Venom was certain of her decision though, the events leading up to this moment would take her nowhere else. The Abraxas name had no place here anymore. Suddenly though, her brother seemed to relax. His shoulders relaxed, his gaze softened, and as he leaned forward to press against her a smile lifted the corners of his lips.

He relinquished and idea of his own, vowing that he would follow whatever decision she would make. Or had already made. She wouldn’t force him to shed the title, but it didn’t sound like he had any desire to make his own way. Whatever she desired, he as her brother would remain at her side. She nodded as he assumed the next course of action. The royal family couldn’t be without their name, and the one that would naturally take its place was that of Klein.

”That was my logical conclusion, unless you had another idea.” She didn’t believe he would, not after his swift assumption of returning to their Klein ancestry.
