AzraelWe broke apart immediately. Athena stepped away from me at once, picking up her cleaning supplies like nothing had happened. She moved to the other side of the office and began working, her movements controlled, but I could tell she was trying to steady herself.I walked back to my desk and took my seat, forcing my expression back to normal. Another knock came from the door. “Come in,” I said.The door opened, and my mother stepped inside. Her eyes moved around the room before settling on Athena. A slow smirk spread across her face as she took in the scene, then she walked forward and sat down without waiting to be invited.“The woods behind the hall were not enough for you?” she said casually. “You had to bring your activities into the pack? Into your own office?”I frowned slightly, keeping my voice even. “What are you talking about?”She leaned back in her chair, clearly amused. “The business between you and your mistress,” she said, pointing directly at Athena.Athena froze
