Alpha Julius chuckled, "Don't be so rigid, Luna Reana. Your older brother and I once fought monsters side by side. We shared blood, sweat, and tears together. I'm not just any Alpha, I'm an old friend of your Roughman family." His eyes crinkled at the corners as he smiled, "You've traveled a long way, Luna Reana. Come, rest and refresh yourselves. It's evening, we'll talk about the reason that brings you to our pack tomorrow."
Reana's guard faltered slightly, her expression softening, especially after seeing how exhausted Mirian was. But only for a moment. She couldn't shake off the feeling that Alpha Julius was hiding something behind his warm smile.
But whatever it was, she knew he wouldn't dare make an attempt on her life, as that would mean a bloody war with her pack.
