Nolan POV
“It appears that Ellic is attending one of Lance’s parties as we speak p>
I stared at the beta who was standing near the doorway with a serious expression
on his face. His shoulders were tense and his eyes were avoiding mine, showing his discomfort.
“Why is it that people keep bothering me with useless information about what Ellie is doing in her own free time?” I demanded.
“Sir, she’s with your brother. Do you know about his parties? It p>
“I know that there’s absolutely nothing going on between Ellie and Lance. And I know that there’s nothing happening at those parties that I need to be concerned about. Are you insinuating that I-your Alpha-don’t have control over my own family?” “Of course not, Alpha,” the beta responded nervously.
“Then stop wasting my time,” I said, letting a soft warning growl rumble in my chest.
“Yes, Alpha p>
The beta turned and quickly left the room.
I ran my fingers through my hair, irritated by the interruption but not surprised. Ellie was getting a lot of attention from men recently. She was more confident, more outgoing, more present in the community, so it wasn’t surprising in any way.
As much as she annoyed me, there had never been any doubt that she was attractive.
But the idea that Lance would be interested in her? That was absurd.
And not the kind of thing I needed to waste my time worrying about.
Lance would be the last one I’d ever expect to develop an attraction to Ellie.
Third Person POV
Keeping an eye on Cassian was easy enough.
Getting him to open up was an entirely different matter.
He seemed more than willing to hang out with Lance, spend time together, and meet
his friends, but when it came to getting Cassian to talk about anything other than business, it was like pulling teeth.
Honestly, Lance had thought Nolan was just being paranoid about the Moonstone pack being up to something.
Until he noticed just how evasive Cassian could be.
The two of them were in the pack house courtyard, hanging out in the back. Lance had figured out pretty quickly that they had very different personalities and that Cassian was slow to warm up, but he was pretty sure he was starting to like him.
“Wish you could’ve made it to the party last night,” Lance said. “You’ve got to experience one of my yacht parties before you go back to your own pack lands p>
“It’s not really my idea of a good time,” Cassian said skeptically. “I’m not much of a drinker or dancer p>
“Come on, it’s fun. I promise. Even Ellie ended up having a good time p>

“Your sister-in-law?” Cassian asked, perking up instantly “She was at your party last night p>
“Yeah. It’s the first time she’s ever been to one. I mean, she was there for completely unrelated reasons, helping a friend out, but she still came and ended up enjoying herself p>
“Interesting,” Cassian said thoughtfully. “I don’t know that I could picture her in that kind of environment p>
“No, she’s full of surprises,” Lance said with a smile. “You know, she’s pretty impressive… for a rogue p>
“You know… she doesn’t seem like a rogue to me,” Cassian said. (2
There was an odd intensity to his words, and Lance noticed how he was maintaining eye contact more than usual. He turned his full attention to Cassian, taking note of his sudden shift in demeanor.
“What do you know about her? Before she met your brother?” Cassian pressed. “Nothing. There’s nothing to know,” Lance replied.
“What do you mean by nothing to know?” Cassian asked skeptically.
“I mean Ellie was an orphan. A rogue,” Lance explained. “I’ve never actually talked
to her about her past, but I know from Nolan that she has very few memories of her childhood or anything that happened before the orphanage p>
