Chapter 44

• *ETHAN’S POV*
• Stepping out of the house, I felt the weight of the situation bearing down on me. The night air was cool, a stark contrast to the warmth and noise inside. I walked briskly to my car, my mind racing with questions. Why had Alpha Moonblade called this urgent meeting? It wasn't like him to be so secretive.
• I opened the car door and slid into the driver's seat, pausing for a moment. I couldn't help but laugh at myself; how could I have agreed to this without even asking for the venue? I picked up my phone and dialed Alpha Moonblade's number.
