“Tell me,” as he insisted for me to answer him, I noticed his father straightening his back.
“She’s his girlfriend, she is allowed to go stay with him,” Lord Atwood reminded him.
“Just a girlfriend. The same girlfriend who started dating him to clear her name,” Nash slammed his hand on the table, making the dishes. rattle and return.
“Easy! What’s wrong with you guys?” their dad groaned at them. I felt awkward sitting among them and got glared down by Lord Atwood.
“Nash! What about you?” I was so annoyed with him for reacting this way that I decided to confront him.
“What about me?” he gritted his teeth in response.
“Did you tell everyone that you’re dating Daphne again?” I raised my brow, watching him roll his eyes at me.
“Really?” Silas smirked, giving his brother a mocking stare. It was also because Nash had been so vocal about his disapproval to his brothers. dating the she–wolves who had wronged me. And now he was dating one himself.
“I know,” before anyone else could question Nash, Lord Atwood added, and my heart skipped a beat.

“You knew?” I turned to him and asked. He nodded, continuing to cat calmly.
His lack of concern about my reaction concerned me. He was acting completely different today. There was no explanation from him about why he accepted his son dating her.
“I think it will be okay,” Lord Atwood finally said, “since you’ll mostly be staying with Brody from now on.”
My jaw dropped as I heard him talk about me living with Brody as if I was already moving out of the mansion. This was not his normal reaction. He used to spoil me, take my side but now he was a different
man.
“Oh, right,” I leaned back, observing their faces before standing up and walking out of the room. I noticed that Lord Atwood didn’t ask me to finish my breakfast either. Something had changed in him.
As I made my way upstairs, I spotted Galinda sitting on the staircase, sobbing softly. They had asked her to go home and rest, to deal with her grief and not worry about her job. They had paid her in advance. and were even going to give her extra, but she refused to leave. Mia was her only family, so I could only imagine how she must be feeling.
“Are you okay?” I sat down beside her, placing my hand on her shoulder.
“How can I be? Have you seen her dead body? That vicious monster tortured her so much,” she broke down in the middle of her sentence.
“You know she so desperately wanted to go to the ball. Sadly, she didn’t have a mate. But that didn’t spoil her mood. She said she had someone who would go to the ball with her next time,” her eyes kept getting filled with tears but she would sniffle them back and try to

My heart ached for her, and all I could do was offer her my embrace, which she accepted gratefully. After she sobbed a little in my arms, I pulled back to ask her some questions that had been on my mind.
“Why was she in the woods after dark? I know she was an omega, so why was she wandering around like that?”
Galinda wiped her checks with the back of her hand before turning to me, holding my hands in hers. “She told me she had to go see someone. I think… She was meeting a guy that she liked. This must be the guy she said would take her to the ball next year.”
As she said that, one name popped into my head: Silas.
“A guy?” I asked, knowing that Mia liked Silas.
“She never told me about him. She said he’s a big deal, and if he accepts her, she’ll be treated with respect in the pack.”
My heart skipped a beat as I remembered the events of the previous day. Mia had threatened to expose Silas for something she had over him if he didn’t accept her. And now her mother was telling me that she was going to meet her crush, who I was pretty sure was Silas.
Did he ask her to meet in the woods?
“He had sent her a letter,” she added and my heart started to sink into my chest.
Ever since I talked to Galinda, I have been extremely restless. I remembered how Sias had reacted to the news of Mia having something on him. He assured me she would never be able to bother him again. What did he imply by that? Did he take any action against her?
