The meeting ended at ten o'clock and the office emptied out slowly around me until I was the only one left in it.
The conclusion we had reached sat heavy. If Nova was truly Lycan, if Pollux was right and the curse was real, then she was so much more than she had ever been allowed to know about herself. She had spent her entire life being told she was less, an Omega, a non-shifter, someone without worth or status, and none of it had ever been true. It made me furious in a way that had nowhere useful to go.
