Axel’s pov
I kept my face neutral as she asked me that. “Not far. I didn’t go anywhere far.”
Her eyes slitted a little. “You were seen driving with Lysander outside the pack lands.”
I didn’t flinch. “We were checking the treeline.”
Mother didn’t look convinced, but she didn’t press further. Instead, she sighed and sat down behind her desk.
“Axel, you know rogues can never be trusted,” her voice lowered now. “Whatever your plans are, please be careful.” I nodded, keeping my face emotionless. “I always am.”
She studied me for another moment, then sighed. “Go eat. We’ll talk more later.”
I stood up, giving her a small nod before walking out.
Even after I was finished with her, her words stayed with me.
She really knew something.
And now i knew i had to be more careful than ever.
