That was Thomas, Alpha of Black Wolf, one of the most powerful men in the Western Territory, and the very man I had spent months trying to secure an alliance with.
My chest tightened immediately as Thomas reached for the woman’s hand without taking his eyes off the situation.
“Elizabeth,” he said calmly. “Is there a problem?”
Elizabeth.
Of course. Of f*****g course. Elizabeth was Thomas's wife. The realization hit so hard I nearly closed my eyes. I'd never wanted the ground to open up and swallow me more than I did right now.
Beside me, Elisa still clung to my arm completely unaware of the disaster unfolding around her. I detached myself from her almost immediately and stepped forward.
“Alpha Thomas.” My voice remained steady through sheer force of control. “Luna Elizabeth.”
Elisa
