Chapter 172 Aidan Has Eloped

• Alpha Logan woke up with the weight of the previous day's events pressing heavily on his chest. The tension from the emergency meeting with the elders still lingered, and he knew he had let his anger get the best of him. He had stormed into the Ravenscroft mansion and threatened Emily's parents, all in a misguided attempt to protect the future of his pack, and that led to Aidan’s disgraceful outburst at the meeting yesterday.
• But now, in the early morning light, regret gnawed at him. He needed to speak with Aidan, to explain why he had acted the way he did and to remind his son of the responsibilities that came with being the future Alpha.
• Rising from his bed, Logan dressed quickly in a dark shirt and trousers, his usual commanding presence slightly subdued by the fatigue in his eyes. He walked briskly down the castle corridors, the cool morning air brushing against his skin as he approached Aidan’s room. The wooden door stood before him, closed and silent. He knocked firmly, expecting to hear his son's voice from within.
