**Talon‘s POV “Hey, you‘re here!” Ethan greeted me. Something about his burst of energy was a little unnerving, and I wasn‘t sure what was going on, but I was curious to find out why he seemed to be in a good mood. “Yes, Alpha! I left the training grounds as soon as I heard you needed me.” “How is training going?” he asked, watching me with an intense gaze as he leaned back in the black leather chair behind his desk. “Very well. The new recruits are doing excellent. Perhaps if you‘re free tomorrow, you would like to come down and take a look? You‘ll be happy with their progress.” He sat for a moment watching me, and couldn‘t help but feel like he was up to something. “That I will, but I have something else I called you here for.” There it was. The true reason why he summoned me. I leaned closer, trying to be more attentive. “What is your request, Alpha?” Ethan looked at me and seemed to find amusement in my reaction. “Will you calm down? I don‘t need anything.” I wasn‘t sure if Ethan was high or drunk. His actions completely baffled me, and that was something I didn‘t take lightly. He was acting abnormal. “What‘s going on?” I asked. As soon as the question left my lips, I watched his demeanor change. He crossed his arms. “Excuse me?” “No offense, Alpha. You just seem to be in a good mood this morning, and, please excuse my honesty, but that‘s rare.” 1 Ethan quickly snapped his narrowing eyes to me. “I‘m just glad we‘re prepared for the upcoming battle.”
Yeah, like I believed that.
However, there was no point arguing it, so I quickly agreed, “Of course.”
“We have visitors coming…” Ethan stated getting back to business, but kept his glare fixed on where I stood. “Alpha Romero from Poldesse is coming with his daughter Madalynn to visit the king. They will rest here three days before continuing on their journey.” I was taken a bit by surprise because visitors were generally not welcomed by Ethan, due to security concerns and his dislike for meaningless social events. Plus, people feared us. Even if Ethan extended an invitation, they would most likely decline it anyway. “Oh…okay.” I quickly adjusted my attitude. “I will make sure their rooms are sorted.” Ethan looked at me, raising a brow. “What‘s wrong?” “Nothing. Just surprised, really. It isn‘t exactly like you to host anyone.” “Trust me, I‘m not thrilled about it– but he was adamant, and I don‘t want the king to be upset. I‘m
not offending a guest who‘s helping us with the war.” | I understood how things had escalated. Ethan was under quite a lot of pressure to build up the
Unwelcome Company defensive line and the alliance. We were preparing as much as we could, but Drogomor was only one pack, and we were already spread thin. This Alpha‘s visit wasn‘t something Ethan was happy about, but at this point, any help would count. Otherwise, Ethan would never allow such potential distractions into our territory. “Okay. I‘ll make sure dinners are properly arranged during their stay, as well,” I added, knowing that it was customary to do so.
Ethan sighed. “Yes. I suppose that would be the polite thing,” he gritted through his teeth. Alright, that was the Alpha I knew.
I began to turn away, and then stopped. “Alpha, may I ask a question?”
