“What’s the matter? Did something happen?” I asked, looking at the sour-faced Beta. I hoped the people from this pack were okay.

“What’s wrong, Dexter?” Grant questioned, squeezing my hand in his.

“The pack folk are restless, not satisfied with the fact that the newly appointed Alpha left after Demons managed to invade our lands and hurt one of our own.”

A lump of guilt formed in my throat. Damn! Grant shouldn’t have left to help me, his pack needed him.

“We will reassure them and deal with the demons. They won’t be a threat any longer. The king will soon know about it and help us eliminate them.” Grant’s voice was pure determination.

I wish he was right, but something didn’t add up now that I was stopping to think about it. What did Elijah have up his sleeve?

Didn’t Elijah think we wouldn’t inform the king about his attack? Didn’t he fear the Alpha King? Was it some kind of ego trip like some men like Aaron went on or was Elijah so powerful that the King was no match to him?
