Kael Veyron I had just gotten back from the pack riots, my boots smeared with mud and my hands dirty. I smelled of sweat and wild weed. I hadn’t even gotten the chance to step into the war room when the bond shifted, her feelings swayed, then crashed. For a moment, my heart stopped, and my hands trembled. “Is everything okay, Alpha?” Varik asked, but I couldn’t bring myself to answer. Not yet. I stared between the war room and the direction towards the arena. The ministers were already waiting; the planning to guard our border couldn’t be missed, and on the other hand was my mate and my child… “Gamma Aloise is with her, and I trust he will keep her safe,” Varik whispered. He knew me better than anyone. For someone who has been with me since my toddler days, certainly that was expected.
