Rylee excused herself and walked over to Lev “Let’s talk”

All conversations ceased as if the entire gathering held their breath, waiting for him to blow up “Yes, ma’am” Lev stood and followed her into a private LIA office she kept in the castle

Rylee closed the doors “How many vodkas have you had?”

“Only two Why?”

“Because your eyes are glowing and your skin is a shade redder Like you are about to have a meltdown”

“I’m not drunk or radioactive, just frustrated”

“Understood” Rylee poured hilass of water from a pitcher She pointed to a seat and he sat “I’ down”

“Rogue olf shit orRachel shit?”

Rylee snorted “All of the above”

Lev drained the glass, then took the pitcher and drained it as well, cooling him to his normal body temperature If he even had a normal body temperature “Much better”

“I can’t fault you for claiood you leave her You are like a son toher won’t destroy you”

“I will survive” He stared at the wall “I survived radiation, the death of my pack and my father’s murder”
