459 Chapter 459: Elric

Liam's POV

He was at a loss for words. The murmurs continued as he lowered his gaze towards his plate. His face was red with embarrassment. How could he say that out loud in front of the pack? It was so unlike him, Liam thought, cursing the moment he let his guard down. 

"S-sorry, alpha." A familiar voice came from his left. "But is the woman really from the border?"

The alpha's body tensed at the question. He turned towards the man with a stern gaze, the green in his eyes darkening with every passing moment. The room fell silent at the rising tension between the man and their alpha. Had he grown so lenient that a mere minister of the king's court was now daring to question him? He thought, narrowing his eyes at the only other human in the room.
