Chapter Four
I paused outside my father's study and took a breath, making sure to hide my pendant beneath my shirt. It probably wasn't the best of ideas, bringing it with me, but at least if I was wearing it, no one could take it away without my knowing. Last time I make that mistake. So much for a secret hiding place being secret.
Somehow my father had known, because when I went to retrieve it, my amulet was gone.
I reached for the door, flexing my hand as I did before dropping it down to my side. Anytime I'd interrupted my father while he was reading, I'd gotten a stern look. I hated the thought of intruding on something now, but then, he did summon me.
And the door was open.
I took in a lungful of air and slowly released it as I stood in the doorway. "You wanted to see me?"
Even from across the room, his salt and pepper hair framed his face in such a way, he looked equal parts gentle and intimidating. It all came down to what side of the spectrum I landed on.
"Close the door, and have a seat." He turned his back to me as he gazed outside at the forest of shrubbery and pine.
I eased the door shut. Suddenly, every noise, every creaking floorboard was too loud as I inched across the vast distance between the door and my father's desk.
The hairs on the back of my neck stood on end, and it took all I had not to grit my teeth as I sat in the armless chair opposite of him. I set my hands in my lap and waited.
When he turned to face me, his expression was hard. "You mind telling me why I smell your wolf all over the boundary?"
Crap. I hadn't even thought of my wolf's scent or how long it would last after I got home. I normally wasn't so careless during my runs butâlast night's run was far from ordinary. I was mad. Upset. And I still was. Only now, it wasn't because of what my father told Devlin, but the way he looked at me.
His eyes narrowed. He clasped his hands behind his back and rolled his shoulders. I could see he was calm on the surface, and my wolf couldn't sense much else. He'd always had a great poker face. Now was no different.
I coughed to force the air from my lungs. "I'm sorry?"
"Your wolf. Everywhere I tracked this morning, her scent was right there. What were you doing last night?"
"I should be asking you the same thing." I hugged my arms around myself to keep from shaking.
His jaw tightened. "What's that supposed to mean?"
"You obviously know I was out. So, how come I saw you heading for Devlin's house?"
"That's none of your concern."
"Isn't it?" I leaned back in the chair and crossed my legs. To everyone else, I may have seemed confident. Relaxed. But he knew me all too well. I was falling apart, and by the look on his face, he didn't just know it, he planned to challenge whatever strength I had left.
