Lucas's POV
Lucas stared at the signature.
For several seconds, he couldn't move.
The faded ink at the bottom of the document belonged to his father.
Alpha Marcus Voss.
His father had been dead for three years.
Yet his name was sitting beneath an order that had changed Aariana's life forever.
Lucas reached for the document.
Aariana didn't let go immediately.
Their fingers touched against the paper.
Neither of them spoke.
Then Aariana released it.
"Your father ordered my exile."
Lucas looked at the signature again.
"I need to know why."
"You need to know everything."
Her voice was calm, but there was something beneath it.
Years of anger.
Years of questions.
Lucas folded the document carefully.
"We're going to the family vault."
Aariana nodded.
"I'll come with you."
