glanced over at Kelton, he didn’t see in the least affected by the presence of this woman. Well, that’s not quite true. If anything his stance had gotten more hostile in the last few seconds. Marion was used to the stiff and regimented way that the warriors often adopted, especially in a formal setting, but Kelton took it to a whole new level with his frosty demeanour. It was clear that he would have rather been anywhere but in that small, confined room, but that didn’t stop the woman from smiling in a disarming manner.
    Cassandra elegantly crossed the room, smiling warmly at Marion before turning to Kelton with a fond expression on her face. Marion could feel herself bristling on Kayleigh’s behalf. It was obvious that this woman had designs on Kelton, although for what purpose, Marion couldn’t say. Anyone with eyes could see the way she was trying to work him, softening him with her seductive gaze and soothing smile. Marion couldn’t help wondering if she was using the warrior mark’s appearing on her daughter’s as a way to get to Kelton?
    Marion held out a hand to introduce herself formally, to try and get her attention away from Kelton. “Good evening, Ms Feelan. My name is Doctor Marion Phillippe. I’m the resident physician for the warriors and trainees here at the Sons of Satrina academy.”
    “How wonderful to meet you.” Cassandra smiled as if truly pleased to make her acquaintance. If Marion hadn’t been quite so wary of her motives, she’d have been won over by this woman. “It’s good to know that my daughters are in such good hands here.”
    “Thank you.”
    “I didn’t even think that they would have onsite medical staff.”
    “Well, it’s necessary for the trainees and warriors.”
    Cassandra nodded absentmindedly, as if she were already bored with Marion, so she closed her mouth with a frown.
    Marion nodded and narrowed her eyes to study the woman. Cassandra held her gaze, as if she were used to other women assessing her. Marion couldn’t fault her looks-wise. The woman was a goddamn knock-out. But, there was something off about her eyes, a coldness that you wouldn’t notice unless you were specifically looking for it. Or perhaps that was just Marion trying to find a flaw in this perfection. Who knew?
    Cassandra allowed the assessment of her to continue before nodding, turning to Kelton and tilting her head slightly. “Kelton, how are you?”
    Kelton visibly froze for a moment as Cassandra extended a manicured hand toward him. The last thing he wanted to do was touch her, but unless he wanted to appear rude, he had no choice. “Very well, thank you.” He replied through gritted teeth. There was no way he could ask her in return and no longer cared about appearing rude as he wiped his hand against his trouser leg. Politeness could go out the window for all he cared. He just wanted this moment over and done with so this woman could get the hell out of his life. “Please take a seat.”
    “You’re looking very well.” She said, her eyes roaming over his muscular chest.
    “Um. Yes.” Kelton frowned, not wanting the conversation to head in that direction.
    “Obviously, it was a bit of a shock, what happened to the girls, but it was a wonderful opportunity to see you again.”
    “Ms Feelan,”
    “Please, call me Cassandra. It’s not like we shouldn’t be on first name terms, is it?” She laughed, a tinkling sound that grated on his nerves.
    “Ms Feelan. You must understand that this is not a social call.”
    “Whatever you say, Kelton.”
    Cassandra gracefully lowered herself into one of the leather chairs sitting on the opposite side to Kelton. He wanted to keep as much space between them as possible. Relaxing a little as he sat down, the barrier of the desk gave him a false sense of security and reassurance.
    Marion silently watched the pair of them. It was only because she had known Kelton for so long and so well that she knew just how uncomfortable he was here. All Ms
