Lucien felt as if he carried a mark on his face.
As soon as the two she-wolves at the reception desk saw them, they did not bother to ask about their intention.
"Alpha Ronan and Beta Jake, you are cordially invited to go to the Crescent Hall."
"Mr. Lucien Clearwater, please follow us."
Lucien and Ronan exchanged one last look.
"Bye," Lucien said softly.
Ronan nodded. He and Jake left for the hall. Lucien on the other side was led to a small room. Inside this room, a group of people were seated.
Dane Silverback as the council chairman, Elder Rick to represent the Silent Walkers Pack, Elder Jonas to represent the Night Prowler Pack, and of course Kinnon Youngshaper.
The latter's eyes were pinned on Lucien the moment he appeared at the door. Lucien refused to look back, for fear of instigating Landon.
"Good morning, Lucien," Dane Silverback greeted him with an official smile. "Long time no see."
