Just like how she didn't realize that she was being surrounded until it was too late. And then something clicked in her head; Alpha Xerxes used the same things as The Hound's members did. How could he have his hands on something that was supposed to be The Hound's weapon to fight against the shifters?
"I remember that I told you tonight is your mating ceremony, right? So, what are you doing out here?" He asked in a cheerful voice, but then Emmet emerged from the dark and his expression was completely disgusted.
