As Killian had promised, he was there to pick up his future wife and her precious car, Dominus Noctis.
He was well aware that a certain snake Awakener had been using that sweet ride to flaunt—and worse yet, it was Severine who had allowed him to. The thought sat like lead in his stomach.
He was about to ask Severine where Emmett's dorm was when Henry stepped forward, silently extending his phone.
Killian glanced at the screen. It was an important call, the kind that required his personal attention immediately.
With a tight nod, Killian gestured for Severine to go ahead with Alina.
He watched as she turned toward the dorms, flanked by a smug-looking Alina.
"Tsk, she is so annoying." The young lord huffed.
Henry remained behind, leaning against the wall with a crafty, knowing smile.
His boss was born with too much influence and far too much pride; this little battle for Severine's favor was becoming the highlight of Henry's days.
