Chapter 649

• Dinner felt awkward. My family made small talk, and every now and then, I’d glance at Levi. The cold glint in his eyes told me that Rupprecht better sleep with one eye open. Falcon was on edge, and I struggled with the fact that Adelie was sitting next to the bastard.
• Rupprecht had his eyes on Jace, who wasn’t fazed, in the least, by the silence or the awkwardness. I loved that Jace felt he could be himself, but I could also sense the animosity from him toward Jace.
• “Doesn’t it bother you to have a gay member in your family?” Rupprecht asked me. He was trying to make me lose my temper. I realized it quick enough, and I smiled at him.
