"Why didn't you tell me Ronan left to search for the moonstone?" Kieran demanded the moment he and Leia returned to the palace, having excused her so they could speak privately.
"You were in a rut," Lucien replied calmly. "Besides, I have another task for you. The Alpha King has summoned me to his palace. I suspect he has an idea of who is staying under our roof. Keep a close watch on Leia and stay by her side at all times."
Kieran frowned in confusion. "Don't worry, I will. But if he already suspects something, shouldn't you have refused the summons?"
"It is necessary for me to go," Lucien pronounced. "I must find out exactly what he wants from me. What prompted him to join his hands with the witches. What kind of powers he wanted from me."
Kieran caught the shadow of concern crossing his brother's face. "Then go and see what he wants. Just don't walk straight into a trap."
