The doors of the townhouse study slammed shut with a loud thud.
Zen turned around, his eyes flashing dangerously as he activated the maximum-security wards on the room. A shimmering blue energy field snapped into place over the walls, sealing the study entirely from the rest of the house.
He was furious.
"Sit down," Zen commanded.
Aurelia and Selene, who had been quietly following him since they arrived back at the residential district, exchanged a quick glance before moving toward the leather sofa in the center of the room.
Aurelia moved with her usual regal grace, crossing her legs and resting her hands on her lap. She looked entirely unapologetic.
Selene, on the other hand, sat nervously on the edge of the cushions, her hands clasped tightly together, though her silver eyes never left Zen's face.
