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.

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 them.
