She knew Alex would have noticed her demeanor, it was much different than how she acted at the wedding. But she wasn't wanting to worry him, didn't want to ruin a perfect evening for them. They took their seats & that's when she saw Ian who gave her a quick wave and the color drained from her face.

If he was here, he hadn't been the one to send the tickets. Alex leaned over to her & she took a breath.

"The tickets. Ian supposedly sent them but he's right over there. I think," She took a quick breath. "I think it's from my father." She said, hushed. She took his hand & squeezed it.

Alex had to take a moment to reign in his magic, hands going cold as he did. Her father had tried to kidnap Ren, and while he might not know anything else about the man, he had already decided he was a dead man walking. He took several deep breaths before leaning back toward Ren.

"How can I help?" This was Ren's family, and she was an accomplished Crow. He knew she could handle herself. But he wanted to be able to help however he could.

Her fingers tightened around his, noting how cold they were getting. It took a lot to make her unsettled, & she was unsettled. Her father had woven his reach even deeper into her life than she had realized. Ren had spent years beyond his grasp. That she was above the kind of games noblemen played.

But that life had found her regardless. She exhaled sharply through her nose, rolling her shoulders back. She wasn’t going to let him ruin this night. Her father had already taken enough from her. She turned to Alex, finding his gaze steady, waiting—and even now, even with the sharp edge of fury
