~~Raya’s PoV~~ Tristan’s jaw clenches as he sees just how many of the attendees here are not the men who were invited. I have an idea what it means and it’s clear he does too. “Lady Travers is going to give you an update on the status of our current alliances,” Tristan announces to the room. “If you’ll all excuse me, I’ll be back in a minute.” He gets to his feet, and with just a glance in my direction, I understand that I’m meant to follow him, which I do, going out into the hall and away from anyone who might overhear us. “They have got in deeper than I thought,” he says as soon as we’re alone. “I don’t think we can trust our Alphas anymore.” “Does that mean all the real Alphas are dead?” My heart twists at the thought, but I’m relieved when Tristan shakes his head.
