ALISON AWOKE THE NEXT MORNING FEELING A STRANGE MIXTURE OF HOPE AND APPREHENSION. She wanted to think that Gabriel had some excellent news for everyone, especially for her and Grayson. Or maybe, he found some secret weakness of Killian's, but knowing her luck and Grayson's, they would probably learn something horrible today. After the chat with Grayson, she had missed the pack meeting, but at least she knew where she stood with Grayson and his past.
The tension between Grayson and her was very fragile at the moment. After Gabriel had contacted him yesterday, she and Grayson returned to the main town village before they parted ways. Her Mate claimed he had some business to take care of, whatever that meant. However, Alison wasn't sure whether or not it was a form of an excuse to get away from her or not. Grayson had opened up to her, which was something he remained unaccustomed to; neither one of them knew how to act now.
