"What will happen to her?" Rose asked. "That depends on your father's judgment," Mom said, looking at
"I'll handle security," Uncle Cas said. "Rose, you're moving to guest quarters in the main family wing. The secure section. No one enters without explicit permission from Alpha Jeremy or myself." "Uncle Cas, I don't want to be a burden—" Rose started. "You're not a burden. You're my great-niece
