Ian stood quietly beside Olivia, still gently supporting her weight after helping her up from the cold, snow-covered ground.
Although Vladimir's unexpected question had caught him completely off guard, he didn't dare refuse or hesitate. The Alpha standing before him wasn't someone you could brush off or ignore.
Vladimir ruled one of the most powerful and influential packs in the entire werewolf community, and no one in their right mind turned down a direct request from him.
Ian nodded respectfully, his posture straight and deferential. "Of course, Alpha Vladimir. I'll tell you everything I know."
Just as he was about to begin sharing the story, Vladimir's eyes rolled to the back. A familiar voice suddenly sliced in his mind through mind link. "Dad, I thought we agreed you wouldn't have this confrontation without us."
It was Voren. Vladimir answered smoothly through the link. 'It only just started, son.' A faint, knowing smile crossed his lips. 'Come join us.'
