Nervous laughter rode under his words, but even Chuck could hear how desperate and thin it sounded. He wanted Voren to deny it. He needed him to deny it so badly it hurt.
Instead Voren's voice turned so cold that the last scraps of warmth seemed to disappear from the air around them completely.
"Tell me why you swapped Sera and Daisy." Noelle's heart stopped dead in her chest. Voren did not seem to be on their side as she had thought.
Her lips parted but nothing came out. Chuck stared at Voren as though the man in front of him had suddenly become a complete stranger, someone he had never known at all.
Then they saw his eyes. The color had vanished completely. Pitch-black, empty of everything human.
There was no warmth left. No hesitation, no trace of the Voren they thought they knew. Clearly, his wolf was in control.
