At that point, Percival had just entered the cafeteria from heaven knows where. He had just gotten his plate serving and was hoping to eat quickly before break time ended.
He instinctively turned toward their original seating position, but then he saw them.
Ethan and Isabella.
They looked really happy, laughing and chatting so naturally that they hadn't even noticed the annoyed stare from the werewolf standing across the room.

Isabella sighed for a second, then said, "This bracelet is part of why I want to remain estranged from my father."
