Chapter 158

• Ethan’s POV
• I walked into the room, the weight of the conversation I was about to have pressing heavily on my shoulders. Caden was already standing by the large windows, his back to me, staring out at the vast expanse of land outside. His shoulders were tense, every line of his body wound tight with the strain of the situation.
• Alpha Ronan was seated at the large, oak table in the center of the room, his hands folded together, his posture regal and unyielding. I could feel the strength of his presence, even from across the room. It was that quiet authority that made him so imposing.
