~Valeria~I should have known that finding the perfect missing piece to my father's puzzle would somehow turn into a disaster.The bronze badge sat in my palm like it had been waiting to be owned by me. A wolf's head wrapped around a crown, exactly the right shape to complete the broken piece I'd been carrying around since I was little. When I pressed them together, they clicked into place with a satisfying snap that made my heart race.
This was it. This was the proof I'd been looking for that my dad really was connected to something bigger than Mom had ever told me.
I was so focused on staring at the completed badge that I didn't notice someone approaching my library table until fingers wrapped around my wrist.
"Valeria."
Caius stood beside me, looking more annoyed than I'd ever seen hi
