It’s clear they had no more idea about this than I did. Everything about Drake’s suffering at Marcus’ hands, the truth of his silence, all of it was hidden from us. My heart twists with pity for my ex, though I try not to let it show too much on my face.
• We still have about two hours before Alpha Morgan joins us to discuss the brutal attack his father carried out against Silver Paw and the reparations he owes. Instead of waiting idly, I decided earlier to link Linda and David and bring them here into the soundproof room, laptop in hand.
