Ethan's POVI keep seeing him around the pack.
Riven. The Lycan King's cousin. The one who turned on the Rogues and ended the war, who everybody treats like a half-tamed blade they're glad is pointed the other way.
I knew he escorted Sora here. I told myself that made sense. He's royal, the roads were rough, she had the boy. A courtesy. A job. I filed him under the war, under all the things that were ending, and I didn't think about him again.
Except he's still here.
Days now. He hasn't left. And the longer I watch, the less it looks like a courtesy.
I see it at the lodge, from across the yard, before either of them notices me.
Sora comes out with the boy. And Riven's already there, on the steps, like he lives there. The kid goes straight to him. Not to Sora first. To him. Holds up so
