She went to find Nicholas after dinner.
His office was on the second floor....corner room, two walls of windows, maps of pack territory covering most of the remaining wall space. He was already at his desk when she pushed the door open. He didn't look surprised to see her.
"Sit," he said.
Lilith sat in the chair across from him.
He picked up his pen. Set it down. Looked at her . "You've been quiet since you got back this afternoon."
She looked at him.
"You noticed."
"I notice everything."
"What happened with your friend."
"Wren's been tracking the anonymous post," she said. "The one on the pack forums about me and the Rite." She watched his face. Nothing moved on it but something shifted underneath. "It's not sitting organically. Someone is pushing it....seeding it across multiple forums deliberately. It's spread to three more networks in the last week. And now...." She paused. "Now my father's name is appearing in the threads. His service history And how he died."
