"Kael?" Rhea's voice cut through the clink of dishes at the dining table, her amber eyes narrowing.
"Yeah, Rhea?" Kael looked up from his plate, his hazel eyes meeting hers, sensing the edge in her tone.
"Why is she here?" Rhea asked, her gaze flicking to Lila, who sat quietly at the table, her black curly hair tucked behind her glasses.
Rhea's arms crossed, her hostility toward the Haunter Twins simmering, her decision not to speak to them directly clear in her pointed question to Kael.
Kael leaned back, his expression calm but firm. "We need to make it look like we brought both sisters to the Haven, not just Tila. It keeps things balanced, shows we're not targeting her alone. Lila's staying in the fourth room next to Tila's, starting today."
Freya ate her lunch in silence, her blue eyes focused on her plate, her platinum-cyan hair catching the light.
