Lina's POV After leaving the hospital, Adrian received a call from his father Marcus and immediately drove me to the K&S office himself, instead of taking me back to the pack house. I frowned as I realized what he was doing—deliberately keeping me away from whatever was about to happen at the Storm estate. "What are you hiding from me?" I asked point-blank. He just smiled mysteriously. "Nothing you need to worry about yet, sweetheart." "Adrian—" "Trust me." He pulled me down for a quick kiss. "I'll tell you everything tonight. Promise." I wanted to argue, but something in his expression told me this was important—something he needed to handle on his own, at least initially. Besides, it wasn't like I was completely in the dark about Storm Pack's internal politics.
