Koa's pov.
Walking down the stairs and making my way through the hallways did nothing to soothe my raging mind or the conflict brewing inside me. I did not like thinking about her. I did not like the thought at all, yet I couldn't will myself to stop—and that only made me angrier.
Just then, a thought crossed my mind. Perhaps I should go through the woods at the back for a run. That usually cleared my head. It was the shortest route to the main woods. Maybe it would help this time too.
Rex said nothing, though I could feel him there. He seemed… mad at me.
Happy with my decision, I made my way down to the lower floor. That was when I spotted Lucien, and I scoffed. He was still talking to the delegates. I didn't understand him at all—why he was trying so hard.
But from what I noticed, the meeting seemed to have ended a while ago. They were exchanging formalities, perhaps. Well, that was Lucien's problem, not mine. I'd never seen anyone so obsessed with power.
