I shook my head, not feeling very hungry right now. Not with the tension my wolf was suddenly carrying.
“I’ll grab some food later,” I told him. “Do you have any leads?” I wanted to talk business; the reason I was there in the first place. I wanted to cut out the small talk.
“No,” Sampson said, lowering himself back into his seat. “But we have a pack meeting later this afternoon. Everybody will be there. I’m also planning on having a ceremony for the Delta who passed away tomorrow.”
“I’ll be there as well,” I said, sitting down in one of the chairs. “Does my Beta have permission to go through your security footage?”
“Yes, of course. Whatever he needs,” Sampson said. “I really appreciate your help.”
I nodded, staring around his office. It was simple, with modern decorations. There was a picture of a gorgeous blonde on his desk, and I only assumed that was his mate, Lucy. I hadn’t met her yet, but I’ve heard that there was a Luna who was running around here somewhere, busy with packmate problems.
“So, how long have these rogue problems been happening?” I asked, trying to distract my mind.
“Only this past week,” he replied. “We’ve never had any issues before. It came out of nowhere. As far as I know, we are the only pack in the area with these issues. It almost seems like they are looking for something, or someone.”
“Do you have any suspicions of what that could be?” I asked. “What changed this past week that could cause them to target your pack?”
Sampson shook his head, running his fingers through his hair; I could see the tiredness and frustration on his face. It was clear that he hadn’t been sleeping either.
“Nothing comes to mind,” he muttered. “At least not this week. I mean, last week we got a new Gamma warrior, but she’s been great…”
My ears perked immediately, and my wolf was on edge, listening intently. A new Gamma warrior, a female one?
“A new gamma?” I asked.
He looked at me and was about to say something, but then the door opened, and Aiden walked in.
“It’s good to finally meet you. Sorry it’s taken me so long; I’ve been busy. I’m sure you can understand,” she told me. “Things have been difficult here; I needed to make sure everyone who faced loss knew that they weren’t alone.”
I nodded, understanding.
“They are lucky to have you, Luna,” I told her, and I genuinely meant that.
“Please, call me Lucy,” she said. “My mate spoke proudly about you. I think he’s starstruck.”
I wasn’t sure what to say about that, but before I could say anything, my wolf nearly surged forward. I pulled him back before it was made noticeable; what the fuck was that about??
If Lucy noticed, she didn’t say anything; her attention was drawn elsewhere.
“Oh, there you are!” She said happily. “I was just introducing myself to Alpha Landry. Come over here!”
