Kinnon Youngshaper turned around when he sensed two pairs of eyes staring at his back.
"Lucien," he softly said when he saw Lucien.
When his eyes drifted to the man next to Lucien, though, his gaze cooled visibly by a few degrees. "Alpha Ronan. Fancy seeing you here. Or maybe I should say that it no longer comes off as a surprise to me, considering you have been hanging around my future Luna shamelessly for a while now."
Ronan cocked his head in arrogance.
"Your future Luna? Alpha Kinnon, don't be delusional."
Kinnon gritted his teeth. He held out his hand for Lucien.
"Lucien, come here."
A shiver ran down Lucien's spine. It was Landon who was about to break his promise to stay put.
"No," Lucien said while shaking his head and hugging himself. "No, I can't."
That was all he could say to keep Landon under control.
The hand that was extended in Lucien's direction was balled into a fist. "Fine," Kinnon said angrily.
