Erik and Stella stood in the doorway like ghosts that never should have returned to this plane of existence.
Stella’s expression was as frosty as ever, making no attempt to hide the disdain in her icy gaze. Her lips were pressed into a tight, unmoving line, and her hands, clasped primly in front of her, were the only sign of restraint.
I knew she remained silent not out of choice but because of Edwin’s Alpha command that had muted her since the charity gala.
Still, her silence felt more ominous than any words she could have spoken.
Erik, in contrast, looked.. Empty. Hollowed out. As if some essential part of him had been scraped away since we had last seen him.
His skin had taken on a pallor, and his eyes-those same eyes that had once burned with cruelty and cold calculation- darted nervously between Edwin and me, unable to settle for more than a second.
Fear. Regret. Shame.
Those were not the emotions I felt, but rather the emotions that Erik Brooks’ gaunt face conveyed.
Edwin stiffened beside me. Eliza, who’d previously been banging on the bathroom door and asking Peter why he was running away from her, suddenly materialized at my other side.
“What are they doing here?” she hissed, not even pretending to be glad to see her parents.
Erik’s voice was tight, strained, as he spoke. “Edwin. Audrey. May I have a word?” He glanced at Eliza, then the others, and even Stella, before adding, “Alone?”
I felt Edwin’s unease rip through the mate bond like fire.
I met my mate’s eyes, giving him a small, uncertain nod. “It’s your call,” I told him through the Mindlink.
Edwin stood still, his face betraying little. I could feel his uncertainty, his emotions warring between vile hatred for his parents and curiosity as to what his father had to say.
Eventually, it seemed that curiosity won out.
After a long moment, he gave a single, slow nod. “I’ll give you two minutes to say whatever it is you have to say.”
With that, we followed Erik out of the room, leaving the others. As we left, I could see Eliza advancing on Stella, her lip curled in a hateful sneer. Whatever Eliza said to Stella in those moments, I closed my ears to it, giving them privacy
