The only ones able to get close are my siblings who make a few comforting comments before we decide to just turn in for the night.
Scarlet buries her face in my chest, clinging to my shirt with her fist. I lean my cheek against the top of her head and soothingly rub her back as we sit in silence as the limo pulls into traffic. "Are you okay?" I ask her gently.

When I get down to the conference room, I find Caleb, Alex, and Xander are all there along with my Gamma Jonah, Delta Garrett, and a handful of guards. The pack lawyer is seated at the table across from another man that I don't know. I assume he is the pack lawyer for the Silver Shadow Pack.
