After finding Caleb outside Alpha Wyatt’s home, it took a while to calm him down enough to get anything out of him. Even then, Caleb had mostly remained quiet. Saying only that Ashleigh was not his mate. He had refused to say anymore, and the pain in his eyes prevented Galen from pushing any further.
The return to Summer was quick. Galen had not stopped for a break since they left Winter. It was a long drive, but each time he got tired or uncomfortable, he only needed to look back in the mirror to see his friend.
Caleb’s expression was grave. He stared out the window without so much as an acknowledgment of Galen’s presence.
Fiona waited to greet them on their arrival.
Caleb stepped out of the car. He looked around; he wore the Alpha mask. A calm and cold exterior meant to show his people that he would always remain in control, no matter the situation.
Fiona stepped closer. Caleb put up his hand to stop her.
He saluted her, his hand to his heart and a bow of his head.
