Emma Greens sat quietly at the grand feeding table of the Alpha's mansion, waiting for Alpha Brandon to join her for the moon-fall meal. Her gaze repeatedly fell on the glowing screen of her device as she checked the time again and again. Regret gnawed at her heart as she remembered ignoring him earlier in the day.
After several long minutes, Beta Bernard entered the grand feeding chamber carrying a tray with her dinner.
"The Alpha said he is not hungry this mom fall," Bernard announced after arranging the dishes neatly before her. Emma lowered her head quickly so Bernard would not notice the tears clouding her eyes.
"Did he summon you?" Emma asked quietly, her voice sounding flat and distant.
"I reached him through the pack intercom," Bernard replied, his sharp eyes noticing the redness in her gaze. "Were you involved in another quarrel?"
"No."
