77.

I was surprised when Raphael shot Lucien a dirty look before placing his hand on my covered foot. Placing the knife and fork down on the tray, happy to be given an excuse to stop eating the food, I looked at the alpha of the Silverblood pack.

"He didn't mean it like that," he assured me, patting my foot.

"Like what?" Lucien and I asked together. We shared a look of confusion before turning our attention back to Raphael.

"When Lucien said that we were going to look into it, he just meant that we would have to do some research, figure out what was going on. Not that we were going to kill those that were involved."

A part of me knew that Raphael was trying to be reassuring, but the rumors surrounding the alpha were vastly different than the man in front of me.
