Chapter 6: Rumors and Revelations

(Elena’s POV)

The next morning, I woke to Catherine Hayes preparing breakfast in the empty–feeling Moonhaven Kitchen.

“Good morning, Luna,” she greeted, concern in her eyes.

Catherine shook her head. “The Alpha didn’t come back.”

“I mentioned David to Marcus,” I said quietly. “He’ll consider it later.” Patricia’s sob of relief was audible through the phone. Thank you, Elena. Thank you so much.”

She ended the call quickly, as if afraid I might change my mind about asking the Alpha for help.

main corridor.

Sophia stood surrounded by pack nurses, distributing expensive moonstone jewelry from an elegant gift box.

The nurses gossiped excitedly around her.
