Connor washed his face at the small sink, trying to appear clean and presentable.

His hands shook with nervous energy as he prepared to see Emma.

He was then escorted to the visitation room where Victoria and Emma waited

behind the reinforced glass.

Connor's gaze swept past Victoria, landing entirely on Emma. He picked up the

phone with trembling hands, his wolf whining with joy.

"Did you give the evidence to Ethan?" Victoria immediately demanded, her voice

sweetheart, don't interfere with adult matters."
