Chyra didn't know what Clem was talking about—the end of the world, and all that—but she knew that she was to blame for Claire rejecting her mate considering what she had soaked into her daughter's mind about the alpha's family, about how the Luna seat was her birthright.
She also knew that she shouldn't be working with Arnold. But she was too proud to concede to that, to concede to anyone, and so she shrugged her shoulders to Clem's question.
In the next second, she saw why that had been a wrong play on her part. When she saw Clem fume in anger, when she saw Claire glare at her stinkingly, when she saw her mate watch her like she was foolish, she knew that she had made a mistake. It would have been best if she had kept quiet, than giving off that nonchalant attitude.
But her pride held her back from apologizing. Why should she apologize for being a mother caring to give her daughter the best?
