Chapter 36: What She Found
Kael was halfway through the corridor when he heard quick footsteps behind him.
He didn't need to turn to know who it was.
"Kael."
He stopped anyway and looked back.
Isolade stood a few steps away from him, breathing faster than usual, her expression no longer calm or controlled.
Whatever Seraphina had told her had clearly shaken her more than she wanted to admit.
"You really let that wolfless thing carry your pup?" she asked without hesitation.
The words were sharp, but the anger behind them was even clearer.
Kael didn't react immediately. "You should choose your words more carefully."
"I'm not interested in choosing my words," she replied. "I'm interested in understanding how you allowed this to happen."
"She is my Luna," he said calmly. "She has every right to carry my child, and besides how do you know that already?."
Isolade stared at him as if the answer had made everything worse instead of better.
