Cyra

When we arrived back at the packhouse, Warren was waiting for us. He wasn’t the only one. Yana stood or one side of her father with flade and Yvonne standing on the other. It felt like the Hill family showed up to prove a point. ‘She doesn’t need you, she has us

Finally, Warren looks at Arman. “Cyra is my family, and I take family very seriously. You would be wise to tread lightly.”

“Understood.”
