Even imagining Julian in love felt like a stretch, though I felt like a jerk for thinking so.

Why shouldn’t he fall in love?

She would have had to be a special woman to keep his attention.

I wondered what kind of woman Bridget really was. It was possible Julian had rose colored glasses, remembering

her and the past. But I just didn’t know.

“I can’t see it,” I said. “Nicholas does not have one vindictive bone in his body. He’s not selfish. He wouldn’t actively

try to hurt you.”

Julian sighed as he slowly shook his head. “I’m not upset with you, Piper. You’ve only seen him at his best side. But

just wait. Someday he’ll show you his true colors.”

“We’ll have to agree to disagree,” I said.

Julian added, “For now.”

That afternoon, I sat out in the grasses near the woods with Susie, watching Elva play with Silver and Night.

Across the gardens, Nicholas was standing beside Olivia. They were deep in a lively conversation. One leaning in to

hear the other speak and then vice versa.

I didn’t want to be jealous. They were just talking. But jealousy still sat, cutting, behind my ribcage.

Susie, bless her, was trying to distract me.

“Elva is doing quite well with the wolves,” Susie said, smiling softly. “They speak to each other now like dear friends.

They would probably accept her into their pack if she wasn’t already welcomed in another.”

A sense pride settled deep within me. I always knew Elva was talented, but to have it acknowledged by others gave

me no shortage of happiness. If only such strength of talent did not also place Elva in danger.

No, I couldn’t think like that. We were on our way to bringing down Terry. The rest of the underground organization

would soon follow.

“Thank you,” I said to Susie. She nodded.

After a moment, I noticed she was distracted too, though when I followed the length of her gaze, I found that it

ended with Mark, standing also on the other side of the gardens near his prince.

I very nearly turned to tease her about him, when my gaze snagged on where Olivia had placed her hand on

Nichola s’s wrist, so very near his hand. She wouldn’t try to hold it, would she?

I couldn’t tear my gaze away.

“Rumors say that Olivia might be the new favorite for Nicholas,” Susie said.

“What about Lilliana?” I asked.

“Too many bad showings,” Susie said. “Olivia, meanwhile, has been steady in every event since the start. She’s

from a prominent pack, too. And from what hear, she does well on camera too…”

Susie’s voice trailed off. Susie herself wasn’t so great at the social matters. I gave her a small smile to help lift her

spirits. She gave me one in return, but it didn’t last.
