Aurelius stared at her intensely. Those gray eyes bored into hers like he could see every secret she'd ever kept. Every lie she'd ever told. Every plan to run.
Thalia squirmed in her seat, her earlier calm completely gone. Her heart started beating fast, so loud she was sure everyone at the table could hear it. Werewolf senses and all.
Then Aurelius smiled. "I'm clearly joking with you."
Sylvia rolled her eyes but her gaze had gone sharp, watching Thalia carefully.
Thalia couldn't stop herself from shaking inwardly.
This man was terrifyin
