Keira glanced at him and nodded slightly.

She had already called her father, Uncle Olsen, and the Freeman Sect's leader. Both had responded promptly, showing just how fast things could move.

Nathan's face tightened. "Lewis, if you don't cut ties with her, get out of this house!"

Unaware of the full context, old Mrs. Horton was visibly furious. Her chest heaved as she pointed at Nathan and Oliver, shouting, "Both of you, be quiet!"
