"She said she wanted to take a walk alone." Six scratched his head. The task Mason Nightshade assigned him was incomplete, but given her expression at the time... he didn't dare follow her.
Plus, more importantly, he couldn't beat her.
Six felt embarrassed even just saying this out loud.
"You let her go alone?!" Mason Nightshade immediately sensed something was wrong. "What happened exactly? What did Balthazar Shaw do this time?"
Six thought to himself that Mason sure knew that family well, so he recounted everything that had happened to him.
Mason cursed under his breath, "He's got a death wish! I didn't spare him for this, disrupting my woman's peace! Damn it!"
