Chapter 229: Shadowrunner

Andros's POV

I stared at Father in surprise when he announced that Astrid would be joining us for the briefing. This is a highly confidential meeting. Even Asha has never joined us here before.

She's not even aware of our Pack's private operations. However, the Father is willing to spill all of our confidential operations to Astrid.

Astrid straightened her shoulders, determined to prove herself. "I want to help," she
