Alec flinches at the name, but that’s stupid, so stupid, and he knows it. He’s been kidnapped for being a Tremontaine, of course everyone knows who he is. It’s just that he’s never had the option to be anything else, and he would have chosen anything at all over this.

That the voice is unfamiliar means nothing at all to Alec. There seems to be a semi-regular rotation of his guards, likely because if there weren’t he’d be better able to drive them into doing something idiotic. “I’m still alive, yes, but there is time to change that. I assure you, my family should thank you for it. I will.”
