Chapter 17 Finding A Solution

• I stiffened while Alpha Caius’ smirk remained intact in its place. I heard someone come up and stand beside me. From my peripheral vision, I saw Marcus. “I apologize, Alpha but we are not allowed to leave our Luna alone. That too, with an inmate wolf.”
• It was hard jibe, one meant to be a polite way of saying ‘fuck off', and I almost winced thinking of what alpha Caius may think. Before he could take it in any other way, I said, “What he meant to say is, my mate alpha Isaac is slightly over-possessive, and like any other newly mated pair, it was tough for him to part ways so it would not be a good thing if you decided to speak to me alone. Marcus and James are our loyal men, so feel free to ask anything about Isaac. As for how your friend is, he is well. He couldn’t attend this meeting because of some of his personal problems, which I am afraid I can’t divulge even though you are his friend.”
• I didn’t avert my gaze although I wanted to. His keen eyes seemed to be filtering the truth from my answer. My tone had remained steady and diplomatic, and I was sure that my face was blank as ever. He let out a breathy chuckle. “Interesting.” However, I shuddered a little at his intonation. It sounded light-hearted on the surface but somehow it just remained from tipping over to the dangerous side.
