Nicholas sighed. "No... it's not it."
He looked at his mother glumly. "She is now living with our enemy... together with the kids."

Nicholas didn't reply. He also didn't know the answer. Of all people, why did Sophie end up with an Alpha of a lycan pack?
"Are you really sure about this?" the queen pressed on him. "How did you know?"
