When I walked in beside Kaden, he'd met me in the hall, the first person I saw was Lucy's father. Big man, older, the kind of Alpha who wore his rank like it was stitched into his actual skin. He was standing at the head of the table, not sitting, which was a choice.
Then I saw Lucy.
She was standing near the window and the second she registered me walking in, her whole face shifted. It was more like a slow bloom, this expression spreading across her features that said: wounded, confused, and deeply, deeply wronged. Her eyes went glassy. Her chin lifted just slightly.
