I looked up from my untouched plate.Marcus eyed me curiously. “You haven’t eaten any of your breakfast.”I glanced over at Aiden. He also watched me. So did Seth. Laadan’s eyes were on me, too, except she kind of had this nostalgic look about her, as if she really wasn’t seeing me. This breakfast was a whole lot of awkward. My gaze settled back on Aiden and I couldn’t stop the image of the pure-blood Guard stabbing Aiden in the back from flashing through my mind. I felt the blood slide out of my face.Aiden put his glass of orange juice down. “Alex?”“Yeah… I just didn’t get much sleep last night.” I could feel Seth’s eyes boring through me. “It’s just being in a new place and all.”“Is your room not to your liking?” asked Marcus.“Have you seen my room?” I debated shoving forkfuls of egg in my mouth, but the way Aiden studied me over the rim of his glass, it didn’t sound like a good idea. “If you can even consider that box a room.” Marcus sat back, crossing one leg over his knee.
