When Kira woke the next morning, Alpha Rolf's cruel words still echoed in her mind, twisting like thorns she couldn't pull out. How could he call her a traitor when he was the one who had shoved her into marrying a ruthless stranger?
After Derek had ordered Kai to take her to the car, Rolf's screams had followed her down the corridor, and it had made her wonder exactly what Derek had done to him. Not that she cared. She was done feeling guilty about any of it.
Once they had returned from Moonfang, she had locked herself in her room and refused to see anyone, and collapsed into bed until sleep finally claimed her.
Now, lying in the unfamiliar bed, she stared at the ceiling for a moment before deciding she was not about to waste another day sulking. She let out a heavy sigh and swung her legs off the bed, slipping her feet into the fluffy slippers waiting on the floor. Her eyes caught a note on the nightstand, and she picked it up to read.
'Don't leave the mansion today.'
