Rufus' POV:
My mother's reaction further aroused my suspicion and curiosity about this Alpha.
Since I was kid, I had never seen her be so partial to anyone, except this Alpha, in whose defense she had spoken several times.
She had also confidently claimed that anyone could betray us, but not this Alpha.
I resolved to meet this mysterious person.
"Mother, I don't care how, but I need to meet this Alpha. I have sent a message to this Alpha requesting her to attend the military parade this year. It is also an ultimatum."
She coughed and cautiously asked, "What if she still doesn't come?"
I sneered, "If she still refuses to come to the imperial capital, I will personally lead my soldiers to the border to meet this mysterious Alpha."
My mother's expression changed and her tone suddenly became hostile. "Whatever. You should leave. I need to rest."
I was going to say something else, but she practically threw me out.
Bang! The door was shut in my face. I stared at it, lost in thought.
I could sense that something was wrong with my mother. She seemed to know this Alpha from the border pack very well. She might have some personal connection to that she-wolf, but she was keeping me in the dark.
But what on earth was she hiding from me?
I couldn't figure it out, so I went back to work.
I didn't put down the pen in my hand until it was late into the night. I leaned against my chair and massaged my temples, fatigue creeping over me.
