Chapter 36
Betrayed by Blood~
The sound of footsteps echoed through the hall, and soon the door to the office was being pulled open. Lydia stood by the doorway, cleared her throat, and stepped in, her voice steady.
"Alpha Cain," she said, "Silver Moon has arrived at the borders. They’ve entered the territory and are requesting entry."
Cain looked up from the papers he was working with, his eyebrows quirked up at the mention of the pack. "Silver Moon," he repeated smoothly, narrowing his eyes slightly as though tasting the name on his tongue. "They’ve come, have they?"
Lydia nodded. "Yes, Alpha. They’re here, waiting at the gates. The new alpha, Alpha Matt, is leading them."
Cain leaned back in his chair, steepling his fingers together thoughtfully. A smug predatory smile sat on his lips. He still remembered teaching him a lesson back at the king’s pack when he started to run his mouth. He wondered if the boy had now learned manners or if he’d have to teach him an even greater lesson.
"Very well, they should be let in," he said, and Lydia nodded, immediately passing the information through the mind-link. Cain stood up and adjusted his collar. "We’ll greet them."
He walked out of his office with Lydia behind him. He didn’t particularly care about the arrival of smaller packs, but this he wanted to see. He knows how grating it must’ve been for the Richards to come to Vehiron, knowing they’d be in the same place their son and alpha was killed. The thought brought Cain so much joy.
The Silver Moon pack was now inside the pack house after being let in by the guards. The gathering was modest, a couple of warriors they came with. The Richards stood tall with their heads straight. The Luna, their mother, stood by the side of two young women he’d assume were the children. Beside her was also a middle-aged woman, an elderly man, and finally Alpha Matt, Rowan’s brother.
