章節 46: Restless uncertainty

"Oh, before I forget…", Maya stirred the conversation the other way. "Don't tell anyone that you are from the Red Moon pack. The official story is that you grew up with your grandparents somewhere North and that after they passed, you came here with the goal to find a pack and we bumped into each other accidentally. Do you remember the gas station where Alpha Damon went out to purchase snacks on his own? It's the stop where you switched places with Caden."

Talia nodded.

"That's where we met. Feel free to fill in any gaps about your background.", Maya said and observed Talia who was listening intently with a hint of confusion on her face. "Do you know why this is important?"

Talia shook her head, indicating that she doesn't.

"If Alpha Edward suspects that we took you secretly, he might accuse us of kidnapping or stealing."

Talia's eyes widened. "I agreed to come with you."
