Chapter 0188

Hector POV

I had questions for Jude and I'll be damned if I leave Kala alone at my pack. It was his pack's turn to hold a group pack banquet and I wasn't going to go, but I think it would help Kaia to get to know other pack leaders, especially before her council hearing. Also long term, it would help her cause with the Nightshade Reformed pack having carved out her own alliances.

The journey in the car, albeit always short when going to Jude's pack, was quiet.

Kala was quiet, she was overthinking things again. She was even quiet with Jude as he greeted her, before taking her with him and Edmund for a tour of the pack.

I needed to visit the library, and I needed to visit it alone.

I had been in the library for about an hour when Jude walks in checking up on me.

"Don't worry, Kaia's with Edmund. How's it going?"

"Nothing new." I sigh out. I was now just going around in circles with the research, I wasn't learning anything new which was frustrating me. Whoever this person Jude has contact with, it was time I met with her.

"I need you to make contact with your source." I start to place the research books back, I wouldn't need these any more. I had read them all cover to cover plenty of times.
