Zara Lucian returned the day after the Rogue attack. At first I was relieved. Lucian was generally calmer and easier to predict than his brother. And Kieran had been weird after the Rogue attack. I understood why he ordered me to stay close immediately after the attack. It was only practical. But even after he was certain all the Rogues had been captured or killed, he still wouldn’t let me out of his sight. He insisted on sleeping in my room. When I balked at sharing my bed, which was much smaller than the hotel bed, he shrugged and slept on my rug instead. It wasn’t nearly as cute and endearing as it had been when his wolf was in command. So I was initially glad when Lucian returned. I assumed that meant that life would go back to normal. I was mistaken. Kieran got to Lucian first.
