“What did he do?” Kaelen asked, stepping closer. His tone was sharp, but there was an undercurrent of anger beneath it, a tension in his posture that hadn’t been there before.
“He’s been with Ravenna,” I said, the words bitter on my tongue. “They’re planning to take control of the packs. Together.”
For a moment, Kaelen didn’t move. His eyes locked on mine, the fury in them unmistakable. “You’re sure?” he asked, though I knew he didn’t doubt me. Kaelen trusted me implicitly.
“I heard them talking,” I replied, my voice cold and steady. “Ravenna plans to make him Alpha, and she’ll be his Luna. They’re going to unite Stormveil Hollow with Shadefall Vale, using our packs as pawns for their power.”
Kaelen’s fists clenched at his sides, his muscles tensing as though ready for a fight. “That snake,” he growled, pacing across the room. “I knew she was ambitious, but this—this is a betrayal of the highest order.”
