Chapter 80.

Astel’s POV.

Just as I was about to lose myself in my work, there was a knock at the door. With a sigh, I said, “Come in.

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.”

The guard didn’t move, his lips trembling slightly. I couldn’t help but notice his nervous energy, and it made me uneasy.

“And?” I asked, dreading the answers.
