“Who else knows?” I asked.

The wolf lowered his head slightly. “Only your inner circle.”

“Keep it that way for now.”

He nodded once before leaving the chamber quickly. The door closed behind him, and I leaned back slowly while processing the information.

Amorah studied my face carefully from beside me. “You already expected something worse was coming

“I expected Holmes to grow desperate,” I replied. “I did not expect him to align himself with wolves willing to destabilize every major Alpha line for power.”

She remained quiet for a moment before speaking again. “The Varkens would not support this unless they believed you were vulnerable.”

“They do.”

I stood from the chair and crossed toward the windows overlooking the territory. The lights below stretched across the inner grounds where patrol wolves continued moving through the night.

“The heir changes public opinion,” I continued. “That makes me more dangerous politically than Holmes anticipated.” Amorah walked over beside me slowly. “Which means they will try to move faster now.”

The Alpha lifted one brow slightly but did not retreat. “I am discussing council procedure, not insulting your mate

“That is not the word I would use”

A faint breath left me that almost sounded amused. “You handled yourself well?

Her eyes narrowed slightly. “I was not performing for them”

“I know”

That answer softened some of the irritation on her face immediately.

Later that evening, we reviewed additional reports together inside my office while the two argue delivered by the kitchen staff. Kyra sat cross–legged on the couch while flipping through sun on t

Zane immediately frowned. “That sounds like an old Alpha name?

“Exactly my point?
