Chapter 54 Unspoken Warnings

• Kieran’s POV
• Lucien keeps stealing nervous glances in my direction, and honestly, I don’t blame him. Even I’m a little surprised at how calm I feel. Maybe it’s because, for once, everything seems to be in place—Zoey’s safe, the pack is steady, and despite the coming war, there’s a fragile sense of order. Or maybe I’m just pretending I don’t feel the storm building beneath my skin.
• “What’s this meeting about?” I ask, keeping my voice low as we move through the long corridor leading to the meeting room. The sound of our foot steps echoes off the quiet hall, the only sound besides the distant grunts of the sparing soldiers.
