$$I neglected to inform you earlier,but I retrieved a customary tribute for you during the dominance trip.It is in my travel case.You may claim it when you return.$$
Selena typed a final reply.
$$Received.$$
Kian frowned at the terse acknowledgment.He felt a rare,unexpected spike of agitation.He leaned back in his high-backed chair,closed his eyes,and pressed his powerful fingers against his temples.
Lance,Kian’s Beta aide,knocked on the heavy timber door.“Excuse me,Alpha.Lyra has been escorted to the inner sanctum,”he announced,entering the office.
Meanwhile,Selena was striding toward the lift when she noticed the lower ranks of the Pack Nexus operatives murmuring and casting quick glances.
“Did you catch the female who was ushered to the Alpha’s sanctum?Was that his claimed Mate?Moon Goddess,she possesses magnificent breeding lines.”
“Indeed.A shame she wore a protective veil.I couldn’t scent her lineage clearly.”
“Wait…doesn’t her essence hint at Lyra?”
“The Volkov Alpha’s first claim?No way!Was that truly her?We heard she had been settling in the Western Territories.”
“That’s formidable.Her bloodline and the Alpha’s presence create an exceptional pair.”
