Roxy jumped, nearly spilling her tea.
What the heck.
Kaelen was on his feet in a second, his body shifting into a defensive crouch, a low snarl ripping from his throat.
Shocked that his Beta would enter his territory without announcing himself.
The Beta stood in the doorway, looking furious. His fists were clenched at his sides, his chest heaving. Behind him, a crowd of wolves, Rax, Sera, and others, gathered nervously, looking like children watching their parents fight.
They had never seen their Alpha and Beta of the pack clash together like this.
And they sat for the gossip, just like Roxy, who continued to feed on the meat, quite relaxed on the bed, instead of panicking.
She even leaned back to relax her muscles.
"Vorn!" Kaelen roared, keeping himself between Vorn and Roxy. "You enter the Alpha's den without knocking? Do you seek death?"
Vorn didn't back down. He stepped into the room, his eyes sweeping over the scene.
