The living room was filled with silence, and you could hear a pin drop. Valerie's mind was in a mess as she stared at the man downstairs.
Then her gaze shifted to that of Alpha Denzel. It was blank. There was no emotion on his face, but she knew he was hurting. Without a word, she spun around and ran back to the room she came out from.
Alpha Denzel did not follow her, knowing she was going to talk to her wolf. He addressed Alpha Kendrick, who had a cunning smile on his face.
"Alpha Kendrick, what just happened?"
An innocent look took over Alpha Kendrick's features, and he looked offended. "Alpha Denzel, you are a respecter of the mate bond and should understand."
The corner of Alpha Denzel's lips curled up a little, and he sat on the sofa, beckoning Kendrick to sit.
