Talon’s POV**
Looking at Vicky, I nodded for her to take over the situation.
Ethan was done with the girl for the night.
Vicky and Estrella still needed to get Rosalie to eat something and take some rest. There wasn’t much need for me in the hospital at the moment, so I followed my Alpha out.
Ethan wasn’t just my Alpha. He was my best friend, and the position of Beta was given to me out of trust.
However, no matter how close we were, I was first his subordinate, then his friend. Either way, though, he had my absolute loyalty.
I was quite surprised to hear what he had said to Rosalie.
I tried to catch up with him. He made his way down the hospital hallway before exiting the double doors which led out into the front lawn near the pack house. He was moving quicker than his usual pace, but I wasn’t aware of anything else on his agenda tonight.
He turned quickly, and made his way towards his office. I followed him in, closing the door behind us.
Strictly executing every single one of his orders was my responsibility, but I needed some clarification.
“Alpha, was the plan changed for Miss Rosalie? I thought…”
“You know the plan, Talon, and it stays.” Ethan turned his attention to the papers in front of him.
We had a war brewing, and that was his focus. Being on top of everything was important, and the newspaper was one of the sources of information. However, I was the one who normally went through it and extracted the key information for him.
For some reason, I felt like he was acting a little abnormal today and didn’t seem to be in a good mood.
I had known Ethan since he was a boy. I remembered the day he became Alpha, and I remembered his father. My sister and I had known him forever, and we supported him through the trouble he faced after his father’s death.
Something was bothering him. I didn’t know why I felt so, but it was not my place to ask.
If it was something he wanted me to know, he would tell me.
I got confirmation of the plan, and that was all I needed from him. The rest would be taken care of as he wished.
“Understood, Alpha. I was just a bit surprised that you said you would set her free. Normally you wouldn’t say it unless you meant it. ”
He put down the newspaper, looking me right in the eyes. His words were as cold as ice.
“Isn’t death the ultimate freedom for her?”
