“Well, then you’ll have to tell them to hurry up and find the beast,” Marley remarked beside me, and she rolled her pretty eyes in annoyance. “The sooner the

While part of me agreed with her sentiment, I couldn’t believe she’d been so bold as to say that to the Alpha King. Of course, I wasn’t fully convinced that my friend knew that’s who she’d been addressing. If she had, I doubt she’d have spoken

Asher’s eyes narrowed, and the room fell silent.

“Your Majesty, please excuse her,” Sofia begged, and she offered the Alphal King an apologetic expression and a small bow. “We-”

Asher raised his hand, and the Luna immediately froze in place and shut her

mouth.

Her expression was awestruck. Clearly, she’d realized who had been addressing us, and her cheeks darkened until they were the same color as Sofia’s.

“Shh,” I whispered as quietly as possible. Luckily, neither Sofia nor the Alphal King seemed to hear us.
