" Maurice made arrangements for her to be escorted to us, but somewhere along the line something went wrong, and she was sent somewhere else instead. Luckily Lucas found her." I didn't want to give him all the details. Father was silent for a while.

"You marked her and she carries your mark, and she smells like you too." "Tm trying to figure out where you're going with this conversation," I muttered. Asigh fell from his lips. "I'm just making an observation." I frowned. "Tell me about mother." "She approached Sutton. I didn't know about her plans until recently otherwise I would have warned you.
