Even so, Tony wasn’t the type to listen to any authoritative voice. I knew attempting to scold him would only make him want to drive faster, so I held my tongue.

“Do you recognize these lands?” Tony asked. “They are a bit out of the way but still in your territory,”

“I know them,” I said.

“I’m surprised you do. When was the last time you patrolled?”

Granted, it had been some time. Truly, I had been neglecting my pack somewhat, to pursue Amber and be a

father to Alice. But I still checked in enough, helped make the important decisions. And in my absence, my Beta

and my council had been doing a good job. I checked the daily reports.

Tony either wasn’t aware of that or still didn’t think it was enough. Either way, he should know that even as my

cousin, he had no right to ask his Alpha things like that.

Tony wasn’t even on the council. He was a playboy trust–fund kid, who spent more time drinking and lounging

around than he ever did caring about his packs or politics.

“I’m not sure when you started to keep track,” I said. “Was this a slow season at the theater?”

“What are you implying?” Tony asked.

“What are you implying, Tony? Because it seemed like you were questioning your Alpha.”

“You’ve been gone a lot. That’s all I am saying,” Tony said, frowning. “Too much, some might say. Your

priorities seem to be anywhere other than with your pack. As Alpha, the pack should only ever be your first and

main priority.”

“I’m still a man,” I said. “The pack is important to me, and I protect it. But my family is important too.”

Tony chuffed but didn’t comment further.

I was perfectly happy to let the matter drop. Tony was doing me a favor by bringing me out here to try to help

Alice. Picking a fight over pack politics – something Tony knew nothing about – didn’t seem like a fair thing to

1. do.

We needed to be working together, not at each other’s throats.

And since when had Tony even become so concerned with such things?

To change the subject, I said, “This is a long way from the capital. Why did the contact want to meet all the way

out here?”

For a moment, I thought Tony might try to argue with me. To my relief, he accepted the change of topic as the

olive branch that it was. “The man likes his privacy. Most people who live in the underworld do.”

“The underworld?” I asked, looking at him.

He shrugged. “Did you think I would happen across this by legal means?”

I could see now whey Tony had thought that he would need backup, and why he had been so adamant to not bring along extra enforcers.
