(Kiara)
The council meeting ended less than an hour later. Wolves began leaving the hall in groups, and I moved my notebook into my bag before Lucan could see what I had been studying. Taren stayed close while Lenora spoke with another Luna near the entrance. I expected Lucan to leave with the rest of Blackridge.
He didn't.
His attention moved between Cassian and me. I knew he couldn't know what we had discussed inside the meeting room, but he had spent years watching everyone around him. Cassian had disappeared during the break, and so had I. Lucan wasn't going to ignore that.
'He knows we spoke to Cassian.' Nyra became alert. 'Look at him. He's trying to figure out what we told him.'
'I know.' I adjusted the strap of my bag. 'Let him wonder. He doesn't know what we have.'
