Chapter 187

• Ava sat very still next to Zeke in the lounge. Her gaze followed Andrei, who was walking around lifting little trinkets to inspect and putting them back down as if he couldn’t sense how on edge they were.
• Myles and Derek stood behind them as if they were still officially Zeke’s Beta and Gamma. But they didn’t have to be there. They had nothing to do with any of this.
• She looked away from Andrei to look at Alpha Diego and saw that he was in some sort of staring match with Zeke. The war of wills was impressive to watch. Zeke said her wolf would never submit to anyone, but she hadn’t thought they could withstand the glare of a wolf that old. Zeke wasn’t backing down, and she knew it was because he was still angry that Alpha Diego had taken her to their house.
