Claire’s POV
After Ivan called for me, I followed him down the hallway to one of the sitting rooms.
“What’s going on?” I asked him.
“Nothing,” he replied. He was looking away from me, glancing out one of the nearby windows. The world was dark and quiet outside, and I wondered what his Alpha eyes could see in the shadows.
The darkness would give us the cover we needed to escape unseen, which was for Leo’s protection, but after what happened the night before, and with the dangers I now knew were waiting out there in the dark, I was unnerved.
The memory of how close that assassin had gotten to Leo’s room distracted me for long enough that it took me a moment to realize Ivan had said… nothing.
“Then why call me away?” I asked.
“You were looking at him like he meant something to you,”
