Corbin’s POV
I get it now.
I completely understand why Traci refused coming downstairs tonight.
At first I thought she was just nervous. Overwhelmed maybe. Which honestly would have made perfect sense considering this palace was overflowing with ranked wolves, Alpha families, spoiled pack heirs, and enough political tension to choke somebody.

That girl had every reason wanting to stay hidden upstairs. Because the second those fools found her, they would absolutely drag her right back under their control.
Koda snorts loudly. “Yeah,” he mutters sarcastically. “Until they figure out why she’s really upstairs.”
Still… I highly doubted Ralph would get anywhere near her now. Not with the amount of security surrounding that seco
