Kaizan chewed the sausage that Olivia had fed him. He could feel that Olivia had stiffened in his lap at the mention of Murtagh. He was tempted to ask her about him, but then he stopped himself. When she would trust him well enough, she would talk about her Alpha to him. He understood the loyalty that went within the packs and he honored her decision to not speak about her Alpha. Bernice's question put him in a fix, but he said, "I am not the one who authorizes meetings with Murtagh. He is a political prisoner and it is only the royalty who allows meeting with him."
"Oh!" Bernice said with a sad face as her lips curved down. "I was so hoping to meet him. I wanted to carry something back to my pack and carrying my Alpha's memories would have been so good. But…" she drawled and lazily dug her fork in the vegetables.
Kaizan didn't reply to her. He nudged Olivia to give him more food. She bit her lip and gave him a spoonful of mushroom cream soup.
