“It’s just a question,” Andrea said sharply. “If you’ve marked someone, the family should know. That’s the tradition.”Dominic nodded slowly. His old eyes fixed on Mitch. “You know the rules, grandson. When a man marks a mate, he must declare her to the family.”Mitch’s jaw tightened. He knew the tradition well. He nodded once. “Yes. I found a mate and I marked her.”Edward’s heart nearly jumped out of his chest. His fingers trembled against his lap. His wolf stirred madly inside him. Was it Lucille?“Who is she?” Dominic pressed.Mitch drew in a deep breath. His chest rose and fell slowly. He hadn’t planned for this moment. If he had remembered that her scent would cling to him, he would never have walked into this gathering.“It’s the tradition,” Dominic repeated firmly. “Say her name.”But Mitch stayed silent.Williams narrowed his eyes. “Why don’t you answer, Mitch?
