Chapter 35 All For Leah

• Leah’s POV
• “What? Why the heck are you forbidding this?” Xander’s voice rose sharply, disbelief written all over his face. He turned to face Lucian directly, his confusion and frustration evident. “Dude, this is actually a good idea. Training Leah to protect herself.”
• Lucian didn’t immediately respond. He stood there in silence, his piercing gaze locked on Xander. The intensity in his eyes wasn’t just unsettling—it was like he was analyzing every word Xander had just said, picking it apart as though it were a tactical mistake in a game of chess.
