Under the piercing gaze of the imposing figure, the two men gripping me shared a worried look.
One quickly forced a smile. "She's my sister, no joke. Just hasn't seen you around lately, so she went overboard with the drinks.
"Lucky I'm here keeping an eye on her, or everyone would be panicking."
His partner jumped in smoothly, "No worries. She's my girl—I'll take good care of her."
Their chatter continued as they rushed me around the corner.
The imposing man remained motionless, watching until our silhouettes vanished. Only then did he command, "Investigate this situation."
His aide glanced up, startled.
Their trip to Stormhaven was last-minute, meant to stay under the radar—this wasn't something they should meddle with.
But the aide never challenged his superior's commands, so he ducked his head quickly. "Understood, sir."

They dragged me into a secluded corner room where Kane waited.
