Chapter 763: An instigator

Talia was sitting at the bar and mixing her pink cocktail with the tiny umbrella while wondering how much time had passed. Was it too obvious that she made herself available on purpose? Was that why no one had approached her so far?

"Alpha Natalia," a male voice got her attention, and Talia perked up. Someone took the bait! 

"I am Beta Milo from the Silverfur pack. I wonder if you remember me."

Talia was pleased that someone had made a move. "Of course, I remember you, Beta Milo. We met at the Council of Alphas."

"It's an honor." He looked around. "I don't see your Beta here."

"Betas," Talia corrected him. "Meg and Kai are enjoying this event. It is a party." Talia was itchy to skip the useless chit-chat. "What brings you here?"

Beta Milo shifted on his feet awkwardly. "This is about my daughter."

Talia didn't get it. "Your daughter?"

"Yes, my daughter, Jade. I'm not sure if you got a chance to meet her."
