(Brady POV)
Acknowledging that Kael may have won the battle, I was nevertheless determined that he was not going to win the war. I made sure to send three–quarters of my security team with him and Astrid, and I gave the team very specific instructions that I thought would be sufficient to keep the two of them mostly apart.
I told the team not to disturb me during Sammy's class, but once the class was over, I demanded updates every 15 minutes.
When my team told me that Kael had taken Astrid to a chocolate farm, I laughed. I honestly did not see the appeal of doing something like that, especially when you are trying to impress a she–wolf. Then, when my team told me that Astrid fled Kael's car and was yelling at him to leave her alone, I felt nothing short of giddy.
