Chapter 232: Pleasing Lucas

Graeme called Lucas to see if Zoe had any ideas about where Andreas may go. It was urgent, he said. Andreas had been in Zoe's lab looking for something, and now they believed he had masked his scent and disappeared to hide somewhere on pack land.

"Oh yeah, he can do that," Zoe nodded emphatically once Lucas relayed this theory to her. "He used to brag about it to me all of the time. He said it so arrogantly like it made him superior."

"Well most lycans can't mask their scent like that, because it is extraordinarily hard. Instead, we tend to work on offense. There's a stigma associated with masking your scent as well."

"What stigma is that?" Zoe tilted her head in curiosity. She was batting her lashes less and less, much to Lucas' relief. It made her seem less creepy and manipulative. And not quite as young.

"If you mask your scent, then you are considered a coward," he explained. "And someone who can't be trusted."
