Trey was quiet as I ate, and I couldn’t bring myself to look at him again. I was afraid of what I would see in his expression. Eventually, he sighed. “I have things to do around pack lands today. I’d like you to accompany me.”
That got my attention, and I looked up. It made sense. I was a stranger to the pack, and for all Trey knew, I was unstable or dangerous. He wanted me with him the whole time so he could keep an eye on me and make sure I didn’t do anything destructive or detrimental.
“Yes, Alpha.” Gods that felt good to say. And I wasn’t going to examine why. Other than the fact that he was in charge here and I had to defer to him, so it was only right to address him by his title.
“Good. Are you finished?”
