Chapter 271: An Act (1)

At Keen Manor, Silver Crescent Pack Territory

Clara gave Gilas a respectable distance as they made their way to Keen Manor. It was yet another day that she agreed to go with him to have dinner with his mother, and a part of her was honestly looking forward to spending time with the woman. She was a sweet lady, and Clara just didn't understand why his family functioned this way.

"It seems we arrived early," Gilas commented as they reached the gates, the servants dutifully opening the way for them as they entered. "We'll have to wait till well beyond sunset for dinner."

"That's fine by me," Clara promptly nodded.

Silently, the two entered the manor proper. Again, the servants gave them the customary welcome as they went through the hallways. Eventually, they reached the living room, where Lady Shila was quick to greet them as she stood up from her seat.
