"What the hell is going on Jude?" Leonardo Caro yelled the moment Matthew left the office.
"I don't know! How should I know? And why the hell are you here? I thought you were in Japan?"
"I came because of the Lycan. We expected him to come after we took Ava."
"You took Ava?"
"Yes."
"And you didn't tell me?"
"You are compromised."
"What?"
"You used to work together with Ava and I knew you were quite lenient on her."
"That is not true!"
"I know about your silent competitions and I also know she beat your ass every time. I can understand your feelings, son. Now sit down and pour me that wine." Leonardo loosened his tie as he let out a sigh. "I never expected the Lycan to be this… forceful."
"I told you the Lycans like Ava. Did you really expect him to just let her go just because it was Trillium that took Ava?"
"I didn't. But to threaten the whole shifter and witch community? That is absurd."
