I had expected my son to give me more of an explanation as to why he had been spending time with the maid. Putting his marriage at risk before it had even begun. Yet instead he had thrown words at me that were like dynamite to my mind. Incomprehensible. My neighbouring Alpha had been keeping secrets for a long time it would seem. Secrets that could destroy not only his family but his pack too...
I ran my hand through my hair in uncertainty. He and I had an agreement. A business deal. All connected to the wedding. These deals were worth substantial amounts of money, and, in order for them to be fulfilled our children would have to marry. But the things that this man had done simply broke so many areas of our rules and the Council would not look lightly upon him. Nor me if they were to discover I knew of his misendeavours.
