~ ROWAN
I watched Nyssa and Aria through the window in my office.
Leaving Nyssa in the dining room without a word was fucking difficult, but it was clear that she needed space from me. She would not even glance my way.
I watched her carefully, noting how she smiled as she wrapped her arms around Eric.
Seeing her hold another man with such excitement was not an easy thing, but I'd unfortunately come to accept that Eric was a part of her life. She cared for him, and he did her as well. No one guard was as invested in finding her as he was when she went missing.
A knock on the door snapped me out of my thoughts and I turned to find Jeremiah standing in the middle of my office. He bowed low, his hands folded behind his back.
"Is everything alright?" I asked and he nodded.
"You told me to come to you if I had any information regarding the pack. Our sources say that they are holding a competition to find their next Alpha."
I hummed.
