“I will be willing to answer every one of your questions.” He replied eagerly.
“Good. I hear that your pack is also in alliance with the… rogues.”
He looked up at me, clearly about to deny but thought better of it.
“Yes. Alpha. But you know how much rogues hate packs and their laws. They would not let themselves be involved in any other pack matters.”
“I didn’t ask because I need their alliance. Some years back you told me a story of a boy who was found burnt to death–this boy was from your pack.‘
“Yes, he was. His father was a Captain. He did well in his service before he retired. That had been around the time his son was killed. The fire might not have been the cause of his death–that’s what the healers said.”
“What was his name?”
“I can’t remember–I think it was… Eli… Eliott.”
“Eliott.” I repeated. It does make sense that the boy hadn’t told them his full name.
“What interest does the Alpha have with this lowly deceased boy?”
“His death interests me. Do you know this man?” I said, passing him a picture, he caught it before it slid off the
table.
The moment he stared at it, his face paled just a bit, enough to tell me he did know him and the man was very
much alive.
“No–I don’t,” he said.
“Are you sure?”
“Positive, Alpha.”
“Then why do I think you are lying, my friend?”
“Only a fool would lie to the Alpha King.”
“And so you are a fool. That man is a rogue; I want him alive.”
“I don’t-”
I passed him another picture, and he picked it up; his face turned white. It was a recent picture, just a few months back, and he was in the picture, so was the rogue.
“Would you keep on with the lies?”
“Alpha, please. Part of the deal was that I keep him protected and that is one of the reasons the rogues are in alliance with my pack.”
“Protected from what?” I asked.
“I don’t know.”
But he is in hiding.”
“Yes, and now I understand why he is in hiding; he must have done something to offend you…”

“Me? And why do you think it’s me who he offended?”
“I thought-”
“You thought wrong; I want him here to have a talk with him.”
“I’ll find him and send him to you.‘
“Good. And just so you know, if the rogue doesn’t make it here alive, I will take your head and leave your pack without an Alpha.”
I noticed the slight tremor in his fingers; he tried to hide it.
“I understand, Alpha.”
“And don’t forget our little deal; let’s see how skilled the Gray Moon Pack women could be.”
“Of course.” He said before hurrying away.
The moment I walked out of the meeting room, Austin, who seemed to have been waiting by the door, walked to
- me.
“So you struck a deal?” he asked.
“Of course, I did.” I said, and he smiled.
“What would they be offering in exchange for the alliance?”
“Whores, skilled whores.” I say with a smile before walking away and leaving him behind.
I returned to the room. Kaida looked all sexy covered in sweat, she must have been exercising and training.
She glanced at me and looked away. No ‘Hey, hello, hi’s.‘
“How has your day been?” I asked.
“Go fuck yourself.”
“You would love to see that, wouldn’t you?” I asked as I took off my clothes. I noticed her eyes linger a bit longer before she looked away.
“I guess you are planning to spend the night here?”
“Of course, I plan to spend the night with my mate.”
“Stop calling me that.” She snapped, clearly in a mood today.
