I stared at my phone, unable to tear my eyes away from the image that confirmed my worst fears. Adrian and Hannah Norton locked in what looked like a passionate embrace, his hands on her waist, their lips pressed together. The timestamp on the article showed it had been published just hours ago. My stomach twisted into knots as the headline screamed at me: "LYCAN COUNCIL CHAIRMAN ADRIAN VALOIS FINDS NEW LOVE WITH HANNAH NORTON."
"What are you talking about?" Adrian asked, confusion crossing his features as he stood there, still wet from the shower with only a towel wrapped around his waist.
I turned my phone toward him, my hand trembling. "This! You told me last night that you threatened the photographers, that they wouldn't publish anything. Was that just another lie?"
Adrian's brow furrowed as he stepped closer, reaching for my phone. I yanked it back.
"No," I snapped. "Don't come near me."
