"What are you doing here?" I demand, not even pretending to be civil.
To my dismay, Elias was waiting for us in the foyer. Steven and Vince were with him, along with several guards. Unfortunately, I knew that didn't protect them or the pack.

Now that my connection to magic was stronger, I could see how the energy surrounded him. Waves and spirals of color and light could've been stunning, except for the shadow that enveloped him. All that power was contained within the shell of his loss and devastation. I wish I could feel pity for him, but he'd done it to himself.
"I would like to see my child," He sounded unemotional, but I wasn't sure I believed that anymore. Not after what he was capable of doing to himself.
