Leah POV After an extremely quick breakfast, I’m back in my office looking over the reports from the attack last night and preparing for the call with the council. I’m dreading their response and what they’re going to say about the fact that I wasn’t there. Overall, everything seems to be back in order. Brett, Gabe, and my warriors did amazing. All of the training clearly paid off. Injuries were minor, with Brett getting the worst of it. Which brought up my other concern. Based on all of the reports, everyone is consistent in reporting that the rogues, while feral and aggressive, lacked organization or any real drive to infiltrate and truly harm. It coincides with my theory that this was a test. But why? And by who? The knock on my door brings me out of my thoughts. “Come in,” I yell.
