Chapter 37

• Isadora's POV
• I sat at the table with Lisa and my stepdad, having breakfast. The atmosphere was filled with excitement. Alpha Philip couldn't contain his enthusiasm about the alliance with King Leonidas, he went on and on, talking about it, and Lisa shared in his optimism. But I couldn't help but feel a gnawing resentment toward Leonidas for his earlier behavior.
• My stepdad was in the middle of describing the potential benefits of the alliance when one of his men rushed into the room, holding a sealed letter.
