Author's POV
"Bro… Brother Alistair, and Brother Asher!?" Sera's eyes nearly popped out of her head upon seeing the two handsome men standing outside the car and peering inside, where Lucien was leaning dangerously close to her.
Asher knocked on the car and signaled for Sera to get out. Reluctantly, she stepped out, looking like someone caught red-handed.
Her only intention was to talk with Lucien and then quietly go home, hoping that when the dorm office called her guardian, she wouldn't have to lie.
But now that she was caught, she was at a loss for words. Seraphina glanced at Lucien, with something flickering in her eyes, and then stepped out of the car.
"I…" Seraphina started, but the words barely left her mouth before the car door opened.
Lucien stepped out with an unreadable expression.
"I think you should continue this conversation at home," he said in his usual cold and firm tone.
Lucien wasn't like that a moment ago when he was talking to Sera in the car.
