After I left Alpha father and son went crazy with regret

Cole turned his head and met the sharp yet familiar gaze of Alpha Dalton.

A slight smirk tugged at Cole's lips. “Dalton. It's been a while."

Dalton crossed his arms, regarding him with curiosity. "What are you doing in Silvermoon?"

Cole's expression didn't shift. "Business."

Dalton's brow furrowed slightly. He knew Cole well enough to understand that was only half the truth. Once, long ago, they had been part of the same Alpha training program alongside Arnold and Charles. Arnold had been the most disciplined among them, the one who followed every expectation with unwavering precision.

Cole had been the most unpredictable.

His origins were steeped in mystery, whispers of a powerful but elusive family trailing behind him. After their graduation, he had disappeared from the structured world of the Alphas, reappearing sporadically in different territories, seemingly operating on his own agenda.

Dalton narrowed his eyes. "So you just happened to show up in time for the festival?"

Cole shrugged. "Same as you."

Dalton let out a small chuckle, though there was something uneasy in the way his eyes flickered to a spot behind
