Rowan grinned and yawned. His implication was clear.
He saw a flash of auburn hair for a second, and his smile froze.
Alpha Bennett laughed. “Nice try, kid.”
Green eyes followed the auburn hair instinctively. Rowan knew it wasn’t Mila. That wasn’t how she walked, and it didn’t smell like Mila, but his heart still hoped to see his mate.
His heart sank when she turned around, and it was a much older woman with pale green eyes.
The Delta Team came into view of everyone. A group of people with their hands tied behind their backs was walking in front of them.
Rowan glanced at Alpha Bennett and saw the older man seethe. He sighed. Looking at the poor state of the houses and people, he knew he needed to make changes before he left.
“I love being underestimated. It makes the conquest so much more rewarding. Thank you, Alpha Bennett,” Rowan politely gave respect.
Alpha Bennett still had a smug look on his face.
