Joefrey frowned at her and said, "Talk."
Lyralei looked around the room first.
Six warriors stood at various points along the walls and every single one of them was watching her. Not even trying to look like they weren't. Two near the door had their arms crossed and their eyes fixed on her face. The one closest to Joefrey's right had his hand resting on the hilt of his blade. The rest were just staring, openly curious, waiting the same way their Alpha was waiting.
She cleared her throat. "It's…. private."
Joefrey's frown didn't move. "These are my men."
"I know." She met his eyes. "But this? This is for your ears only."
He looked at her for a moment. Then he grunted and raised one hand.
Every warrior in the room immediately turned and walked out.
No argument. No exchanged looks. No
