Scarlett's POV
I ended up staying in bed all afternoon with Liam. My body was completely exhausted, floating in a haze of absolute satisfaction as we tangled our legs together under the sheets. Liam was incredibly attentive, pulling me against his warm chest, whispering sweet, lazy praises into my hair, and kissing my shoulders whenever I stirred. For a few precious hours, the rest of the world disappeared, and I almost forgot someone had tried to kill me.
But the peaceful bubble shattered the moment my bedroom door creaked open.
Leo and Leonard walked into the room, and the instant my eyes landed on them, the warmth and peace vanished instantly. They looked nothing like they had the night before. Their jaws were clenched, their shoulders rigid, and a heavy, suffocating tension radiated from their frames, darkening their usual dominant auras.
My wolf instantly perked up, her ears flattening in alarm. Something is wrong, she whispered.
