Silas stiffened at once and then glared at Roxy. As his golden eyes shot daggers in her direction, he remained utterly silent.

We all knew that should anything be spoken wrongly, this alliance between us would be ruined. We needed Alpha Arthur on our side, and yet… this wasn’t a matter for Silas to solve.
