Severin was not the person Elias was trying to protect by keeping the truth to himself. Rather, it was… Lynsandra.
From the very first time Elias ambushed Lynsandra outside her room, he had already understood that there was some sort of connection between her and Severin. Compared to how she treated everyone else in the harem, anyone could tell she had a soft spot for him.
And Elias knew for a fact that no one liked it—especially not when Lynsandra favored a vampire, a natural enemy of their kind.
However, between his displeasure over their connection and Lynsandra's heart, her heart weighed more for Elias. So even before August told him everything, he had no intention of being the one to break her heart by revealing what Severin had done.
Now, it made sense why Severin had been reckless enough to almost kill another member of the harem.
It was because there wouldn't be a harem soon.
