Claire’s POV
I had some feelings as Ivan called me his in front of Gideon, but I held down those feelings, needing to focus on Nova right now. She had been through a trauma and was still shaking.
Even after we arrived to the pack house, and I took Nova into her bedroom, she was still scared. She rushed to her bed and hid under the covers. I sat down on the bed beside her, soothingly rubbing her back through the blankets.
When she eventually stopped crying, I asked softly, “What happened, Nova?”
As softly, her voice barely audible under her blankets, she told me all that occurred after our split. How the warrior with her was killed, how she was taken and brought to that old farmhouse, and how she had been confronted by Daphne.
I hadn’t seen Daphne, and she wasn’t among the c*****e Gide
