Modric’s POV
I learned about the meeting before Mary Ann returned to the pack house.
One of the guards stationed near the eastern gate entered my study shortly after sunset. He looked uncomfortable, which immediately made my wolf alert.
“What happened?”
“The Luna is returning from the neutral market.”
I stood.
“Why was she at the neutral market?”
The guard hesitated.
“She had a private meeting.”
“With whom?”
His eyes dropped.
“Velvera Raines.”
For several seconds, I could only stare at him.
The name struck like a blow.
My wolf surged forward so violently that the guard took one step back.
“Who authorized this?”
“Beta Kylian arranged security.”
“Kylian knew?”
“Yes, Alpha.”
Anger rushed through me.
At Kylian for allowing it.
At Velvera for contacting Mary Ann.
At Mary A
