Capítulo 39: Chapter 39

Betrayed by Blood~

"Alpha, I've come to inform you that Sir Xander has returned to Vehiron,"

Cain's jaw tightened, his body rigid, his gaze darkening at the mention of Xander's name. He glanced at Avery, "You're done for the day," he said, and Avery bristled slightly, expecting something else. Cain then turned to Lucas, "Have another maid take over and clean this up," Cain said gruffly to Lucas, who bowed even more in respect.

He turned to leave only to pause as Xander stepped into the room. Xander's boots echoed faintly against the floor. "Alpha," Xander greeted, bowing his head briefly. The man looked different from before. His hair had grown longer, his shoulders were broader, he looked more tanned. He straightened, his eyes sweeping briefly over the room, landing on Cain before flickering, for just a moment, toward Avery.

Cain noticed.

"Xander," Cain said coldly. "Why are you back in Vehiron?" he asked.
