"More dangerous than being left in the dark while someone plots to kidnap or kill me?" I shot back, my hands instinctively moving to my belly. "I think I have a right to know when I'm being targeted."
He paced the office like a caged predator, running his fingers through his dark hair. "That's not the point, Seraphina."
