'Wait, I need to ask her first,' Alpha Denzel ended the mindlink and turned to Valerie. "Who is Aticus?" He asked seriously, surprised to see her face lit up.
"He's a childhood friend. Is he here?" The excitement in her eyes made Alpha Denzel frown. How could she so confidently show interest in seeing another man who wasn't Alpha Denzel?
"He's at the gate, but I won't let him in," he said seriously, feeling angered by her eagerness to see Aticus.
Knowing Alpha Denzel's jealousy, Valerie quickly tried to reassure him. "Don't be mean. I was just eight when he left the pack. Please let me see him, Denzel. He means no harm," Valerie pouted, revealing a childish side that Alpha Denzel had never seen before.
However, his recent conversation with Clide left him with doubts. Aticus might not be who Valerie thought he was, or he might have changed.
