95 Chapter 95

Seraphina’s POV 1

Damien stepped onto the bedroom balcony to take Lucas’s call, his voice dropping to the low, serious tone he

used for pack business. Through the open French doors, I could hear fragments of their conversation-words

like “complete silence” and “too quiet”.

Adrian had curled up beside me on the bed, his small body warm against my side as he continued his one-

“Like keeping the bad wolves away?”

The simplicity of his question made me pause. How much did a four-year-old need to know about the dangers that constantly threatened our world? “Something like that, yes.”

Damien’s conversation seemed to be winding down, his responses becoming shorter and more clipped. When

he finally ended the call and rejoined us in the bedroom, his expression was carefully neutral in the way that

meant he was trying not to worry me.

I could already sense through our mate bond that whatever Lucas had told
