บท 24: Suspicions, doubts and conflict

It was already early afternoon by the time Ronan booked a large and well-furnished suite at one of the reputable inns in the city. He carried Vivian upstairs to their designated room, with Avery following behind.

He ensured the she-wolf was comfortable enough after laying her on the bed. He informed the two omega females that he would return soon with food and other necessities.
