Chapter 72

• That filthy dog. I watch him as he storms down the hallway, his hackles raised for whatever reason. He says he didn’t do anything to my princess, but under the circumstances, I don’t know if I believe him.
• The ladies of the brothel all had stories of their alpha and his womanizing ways. Every one of them had claimed to have slept with the man at least once. I asked Meldec before sending him away if what those women claimed was true, and he confirmed it. Why Ela wanted to spend time in the place her husband used to frequent because of such vulgar circumstances is beyond me. She acted as if she wasn't bothered by it, but why wouldn't she be? I got jealous, despite myself, seeing my mate talking to the bartender in such a familiar way. I couldn't help but think about the possibility of the Gamma of this pack spending time in the brothels with his Alpha and Beta.
• When Cherum and the guard showed up to the packhouse after I brought Ela back and told me a bit more about the situation at the dock; telling me about a woman returning claiming to be Lacklan’s lover and demanding his help, what am I supposed to think other than he is the reason for my princess’s distress.
