Chapter 80.

Astel’s POV.

The door opened, and a tall, uniformed guard entered the room. He bowed low, his voice low and deferential.

“Alpha, it’s time for the party.” I groaned, not in the mood to socialize with a number of stuffy Alphas.

I sighed, my patience wearing thin. “I don’t want to go out,” I said firmly. “If I want to make a deal with someone, I’ll visit their pack.”
