Elián;
"I heard he's the scariest of the Alphas." A soft voice whispers somewhere beside me, and when I look through the crowd, I see a young, timid little girl with a pink snout and white wool-like hair. Is she a sheep or something like that?
"Of course he is. Everyone fears him. Even the king can't predict him." Another maid whispers in response, and I raise a brow.
Are they talking about Alpha Zethar?
"Yes. When he arrives, please don't say anything or even breathe wrong. No one ever knows what he'll do next. Remember that time he whipped a guard so hard the poor guard almost died? Till today, no one knows what that guard did, and no one ever saw him since that day." Another maid whispers, and my curiosity is completely piqued.
Their voices suddenly drop lower, and it's harder to hear them now.
I stealthily try to move closer to them, but Koda's arms suddenly wrap around me, and he pulls me to himself.
"Gossip rots the mind, Elián." He says, and I blink up at him in awe.
