Author's note: this is from Seraphina's point of view

I looked at thirty-two werewolves who gathered in the common room. Fynn called everyone, even the ones who were patrolling the area.
Fynn stood next to me and Duke, with his chest puffed up and a smug smirk on his face. Fynn was definitely enjoying the fact that he knew about Duke's identity before others. It's easy to make him happy.
Others took seats on the sofa, chairs, floor, and some in the back were standing.
Everyone looked at Duke with curiosity as they guessed that the reason they were summoned here was related to him. With Nox awake, they could definitely tell that the person in front of them was a werewolf.
My eyes locked on Ari and Bia who were at the back, and I saw them eyeing Duke hungrily. I couldn't believe this! I was right next to him, with his arm around my shoulders. How dare they!?
