Caleb looked carefully at Sofia, observing the way she looked back at him.

“Burning Ember has joined with Autumn?” he asked, keeping his tone even.

Sofia smiled.

“They did,” she replied.

“Is this another test?” Caleb growled. “Just say what you mean!”

She smiled again.

“Two weeks after the new Alpha of Winter was sworn in, Autumn continued recruitment,” Sofia continued. “Some packs said no, some said yes, some were betrayed. I’m sure you already know what happened to most of them?”

Caleb clenched his jaw, thinking of the attack on Summer.

“Burning Ember was approached and offered the same option as the rest. Join with Autumn against Summer and Winter, give Alpha Tomas the right to control all wolves within the pack as his own.”

“Why would you agree to that?” Caleb asked.

Sofia leaned forward.

“I wouldn’t,” she said. Then, tilting her head to the side, she smiled. “I’m curious. Did you ever meet Alpha Dillon?”
