First punishment

«What have you done?» Nate repeated, hearing no answer.

Lara rubbed her eyes and looked back at the cubs. They were acting guilty, like every time they had made some mistake.

It was funny, but why was Nate scolding them?

«We were going to free her,» Scarlet murmured. «But you ruined everything...»

Jaden elbowed her, signalling to shut up.

«Were you? And when? How long has your mother been locked in that room? Which one of you two pushed the door? And... For the Moon Goddess, why in the world did you do that?»

Lara raised her brows, confused. What was going on? Why was Nate so furious? Just because the cubs played a prank on her? It was a little extreme, but nothing happened in the end. She was in the company, safe and sound. Someone would have found her sooner or later.

«Which one was it?» Nate asked again.
