Now that she was there, she wasn’t quite as willing to address the High Lord directly, so she half turned toward Daemon and Lucivar and tossed out the question, "Don’t I have the right to decide if I want a male in my bed?"

The air behind the desk instantly chilled, but Lucivar said blandly, "Graysfang?" and the air returned to nor toward him fully "I don’t know about you, but I’ with Graysfang staying with you?"

Soht it was Dae there because he’s a wolf or because he’s interfering with another kind ofyour bed?" Lucivar asked
