We went down the hill with Lucy on Beast and went back to the packhouse right away.

My Gamma and Beta were waiting for us at the top of the steps, but I had already informed them that Lucy was safe. But I knew I had to tell them more. If Lucy was in danger, having my trusted men know about it was fair play.

I smiled before turning around and throwing the towel on the hamper inside the bathroom. I walked to my closet and grabbed a new pair of sweatpants before putting them on. I had things to do before the night

was over.

“So… Will you be ignoring me the whole night? Are you regretting letting me stay?”
