"Okay, grumpy." Nova shrugged. "But just know that I'm rooting for you."
Alpha Kane allowed me to visit my father, on the condition, of course, that he come.
Alpha Kane stood silently in my father's living room, watching me tell them about Ryan. My father's face twisted into a grimace. Ryan was missing from two days.
Marcus could be lying. Dad chuckled. "Ryan's smart. I can't imagine Marcus catching him."
"He could." I nodded. "But we can't just ignore it."
