Kael sent a message to Killian the moment he ended the call with Voren through one of the warriors. "I shall meet you at training tomorrow."
Killian was excited upon hearing the news, his eyes lighting up with malicious glee that made his pulse race and his chest tighten with eager anticipation.
He invited everyone including his father, desperate to put on a show, desperate to eliminate the beta who had dared to challenge him and finally claim the victory that would restore his pride.
Kael had not slept at all. During his tour around the pack, he discovered strangers lurking around, shadows in the corners, whispers in the dark, but did not bring up the matter.
It was enough that Killian got defensive at all times. He went to the room assigned to him at the pack house and began to work on the report before dawn when he joined the training, determination burning steady and fierce in his chest.
