Silver's POV

"Alpha, Luna, where have you been? You were searched for at the banquet last night," Beta Leo said as we walked through the front doors of the palace.

We stayed at the horse track until the sun began to rise early this morning. Elliot didn't want to take a chance of having me be seen, so we stayed wrapped in each other's arms. Eventually, we both fell asleep and when we woke up, I was back to normal.

"Do I really need to explain myself to you, Beta?" Elliot asked coldly, making Beta Leo pale.

"No, but I wasn't sure what to tell the packmates. It would have been nice if you warned me that you were leaving."

Elliot wrapped an arm around me and tucked me into his side.

"I don't need to inform you when I want to have a little quality time with my wife," he said, his voice dropping low and deadly. All traces of that sincere, kind, and gentle man that comforted me all night were gone.

Leo bowed his head, baring his neck as Elliot's Alpha powers washed over him.

"Of course, sir. I apologize," he said, his voice low and defeated. Before Elliot could guide me away, Leo spoke up again. "Sir, there was another rogue attack last night. With that creature that appeared at the banquet and the series of attacks, I was only seeking you out because I was worried for your safety."

Elliot paused and turned to look at his beta.

"Another rogue attack? Was anyone hurt?"

"One of the gammas is in critical condition," Leo answered solemnly. "I just returned from there. I was hoping he would be awake and tell me what exactly happened, but he was still in a coma. The others didn't actually see the rogues but heard the attack. When they got there, this gamma was lying on the ground covered in his own blood. The stench of rogues was all over the place."

A low growl escaped Elliot's throat.
