Chapter 35 The Shattered Vows

• [We still can’t find your father or Laura,] Peter links me just as I finish buttoning up my shirt. I groan, dragging a hand down my face, wondering what in the hell my father is doing. He is always the one lecturing me about Laura—how I need to be on time, how I should treat her like a queen since she’s to be my wife. Yet now, he’s nowhere to be found, and neither is she. Some Alpha he is.
• [I’ll check his office,] I reply, leaving my room and heading down to the second floor. The unease in my chest builds with each step. Just as I turn toward my father’s office, someone blocks my way. I growl low, ready to shove them aside, but it’s only Natty. His eyes dart everywhere but to mine, and my uneasiness sharpens into suspicion.
