Chapter 85

• *Grayson*
• I stepped into the house, coming back from an instantaneous patrol I'd had to do around the pack right after the meeting with Keera's team. As I entered the living room, my gaze swept across the space and I caught sight of Josie's worried expression, her brow furrowed and her lips pressed into a thin line. I frowned, looking around as I took a few steps towards her. Has something happened? She looked up, hearing the sound of my footsteps.
• "Josie, what's wrong?" I asked, my tone instinctively gentle, concern etched on my face. Her eyes darted towards the stairs before returning to mine, filled with a mix of apprehension and hesitation. I immediately felt a cloud of darkness settle above me. She hadn't said a word yet but I already knew it had something to do with Keera. If the way she'd slanted a look at the stairs hadn't been an indication, the mate bond going a bit awry was a definite giveaway.
