บท 322: Ava: Luna's First Trial (I)

"Ava?" Vanessa watches me carefully, her head tilted to the side. "Is everything alright?"

"Sorry, I zoned out for a second."

Vanessa raises an eyebrow but doesn't press further. "I was asking if Kellan informed you about the brawls."

"Brawls?" Come to think of it, he'd mentioned something about fighting. "Not in detail."

Vester's posture shifts, his spine straightening as he faces me. The change is subtle but unmistakable, and I sit up straight in response, rolling my shoulders back as I meet his gaze.

He's a soldier reporting to his superior; not a pack member speaking casually to his Alpha's mate.

"There were multiple violent altercations just before midnight. Multiple reports were taken of altered states of mind, and all have returned to their normal state by early morning, at approximately 9 this morning."

"Go on," I say, trying to keep my voice steady and authoritative.
