Duskmoon Village
Ziva was in a meeting with her father and his beta, Jericho, explaining her plan.
"Once the spell is made, the moment Violet and her mates return to the human realm, I'll be alerted, and we'd pull—"
The door to the meeting room was abruptly thrown open. Three pairs of eyes snapped toward the entrance.
Layla rushed in, only to halt mid-step as their gazes pinned her to the spot.
"Well…" Ziva drawled, one hand settling on her waist. "Look who decided to show up early."
Her eyes swept over Layla slowly, settling on the bag slung over her shoulder. A slow smile curved her lips upon seeing how full it was.
"And it seems you had a fun time."
Then her gaze shifted to the empty space beside Layla.
"And where is your sister, Laura?"
At the mention of that name, Layla's lips trembled.
Before anyone could say Jack Robinson, her eyes brimmed with tears.
The shift in the room was immediate.
