Chaim's POV
Nobody understood where Bennett had disappeared to or why he never came back. Months had passed since he left for what should have been a routine pack visit, and now his father had filed a missing person report that landed directly on Barbara's desk.
I suspected Bennett had found his fated mate and decided to stay. What bothered me was his complete silence toward his family. Any wolf would share news that monumental with their father and brother.
The territory guards waved them through without issue. Alpha Thor stood on his front porch wearing a practiced smile, flanked by a woman who had to be his mate and a young girl. I noticed the absence of their son and wondered what Alpha Thor planned to do about that.
"Your Majesty, having you visit our territory brings us great honor." Alpha Thor offered the King a respectful bow while his mate and daughter curtsied.
