After the initial warmth of the reunion, the air had turned tense as Anne noticed the change in Aaron and Nicky's demeanour. They exchanged wary glances.
Anne sensed something was wrong. She could feel the unspoken weight hanging between them, the tension thrumming just beneath the surface. Finally, Aaron took a deep breath, his eyes locking with hers.
"Anne," he began, his voice steady but carrying an edge of urgency. "There's something we need to tell you."
Nicky shifted nervously besides him, her hands twisting in front of her as she glanced at her brother before looking at Anne with concern.
"It's about Alpha Jackson."
"He's furious," Nicky added, her voice quieter but filled with emotion. "He's angry with us and with you."
Anne's brow furrowed as she studied the two of them. "Thats obvious."
