Leia shut the door quietly after Kieran fell asleep. She went down the corridor and reached the living room.
"Ronan, you're back! Where's Lucien?" Leia asked, halting slowly near him.
"He's still investigating," Ronan said, lowering his hand to his hand from which he was pressing the back of his neck. "How's Kieran?"
"Better. I gave him medicine earlier. He's sleeping now."
"That's a relief," Ronan said, lowering himself to the couch.
"Kieran believes the wolf attacked him on purpose," Leia said, settling onto the couch across from Ronan. Her gaze held his steadily. "He thinks it was a calculated move, to test his strength. Like there's a deeper motive behind it."
Ronan nodded slowly. "We've been thinking along the same lines. But Lucien's trying to dig deeper. Until he finds something concrete, it's all speculation."
Leia leaned back, thoughtful. "Dinner should be ready soon. Hopefully, Lucien returns by then."
