Chapter 207: Because I’m Petty
Chapter 207 – Because I’m Petty
For once, Lux didn’t have an answer.
His smirk faltered—barely, but Mira saw it.
"I’m... not sure," he said, honestly. The words felt weird in his mouth. Not because they were wrong, but because he so rarely admitted uncertainty out loud. Especially not in front of dragon-blooded heiresses who dressed like divine executioners.
Mira blinked. Just once.
Lux looked out the tinted window, brow slightly furrowed. The passing skyline reflected back at him—a blurred collage of neon signs, glass towers, old cathedrals swallowed by modern greed.
"I mean, yeah... at first, she abducted me." He huffed, a quiet exhale through his nose. "And I let her. Because I wanted to know who was pulling strings. The mastermind. Thought maybe one of the auction guests was behind it."
Mira tilted her head, still watching him.
"I suspected the duke, you know?" Lux added. "Figured he might’ve been trying to silence me after the whole thing yesterday."
She nodded slightly. "His werewolves are the ones who attacked you at the auction."
"Yeah. But..." Lux shrugged. "Turns out I was wrong."
His fingers tapped lightly against his thigh.
