Kasteil pulled away in surprise and turned me around so I was facing him. His hands settled on my waist, thumbs brushing lightly over the skin just above my waistband. His eyes searched my face, looking for something I couldn't quite identify.
"Why would you think you can't?"
"I just never thought about it."
I hadn't. This was information about the pack. Could I really just ask him about things like this? Shouldn't information concerning the pack be kept secret? Kasteil was the Alpha King. Surely there were things he couldn't simply tell me whenever I asked.
"Holland, you can ask me anything," Kasteil said. "You're about to be consort too."
Oh.
That was true. But did becoming his consort really give me the right to know things like that? I wasn't sure.
"Stop thinking about it and just ask me."
