Lena looked straight at Kaius, panic all over her face. She didn't say a word, but her eyes were pleading.
Titan still had her skirt in his teeth. She was frozen.
She needed Kaius. He used to protect her.
" Titan, come! "Alpha Sherman's voice rang out, sharp with authority.
Titan flicked his ear like he heard the command, but he didn't move. He kept his teeth on Lena's skirt, eyes locked on her.
He didn't need to speak. Everyone got the message.
" Kaius, help me! "Lena's voice cracked, raw with fear.
Kaius barely turned his head. His face was a mask, unreadable.
Across the room, Eliot watched him closely, sharp eyes calculating.
Leo, Elena, and Milo all turned in perfect sync, their gazes landing on Kaius.
It wasn't curiosity. It was a challenge.
