“Nothing,” I tell her, and she nods her head. “So, this witch, Freya, you said you met her after Scarlett left you. What took you all the way to New Orleans?” she asks me. “I needed to go somewhere where people didn’t give a damn that I was an Alpha, and that place was New…

“Of course,” he says, and he starts to leave. But when he reaches the door, he turns around and looks at me. “You look really good, Lena,” he says, then walks out and closes the door behind him. I let out a breath. When he looked at me, the way he looked at me, no…
