Was Valerie some kind of commodity for Tristan to reject and accept as and when he pleased? That remark was an insult to Alpha Denzel, and his anger flared up.
"Don't even try mentioning that my Luna returns to your pack."
Hugo had no idea if his lost teeth would return but continued to plead nonetheless with his bloody mouth. Alpha Tristan was afraid of speaking a word, so it was all up to him to fight for the pack in his Alpha's place.
"Alpha Denzel, please. We know that Luna Valerie is innocent. The pack needs her. Alpha Tristan has equally realized his mistake."
Alpha Denzel felt that Hugo was not understanding what he meant and tried to explain it to him in simple terms, asking,
"Did you see or hear about what happened to Alpha Conrad and his friends?"
Alpha Tristan and Beta Hugo exchanged glances, both of them looking lost. "No. We've been too busy to listen to gossip."
