The Alpha Was Keeping One Last Secret
Once the Infinite Eclipse Pack gave its consent, Katreena Swifttalon used it to persuade all other packs into giving their consent.
Naturally, none of them believed that Ronan Silverback was very keen on forgiving Lucrethia Woodland. That's why one phone call after another came flooding, all of them were asking basically the same thing: "Did Alpha Ronan really agree to release Lucrethia Woodland's body to her daughters?"
Of all the Alphas, Kinnon was the only one who correctly guessed that Lucien was the one who coaxed his mate into the generous act of mercy.
"Lucien is too kind for his own good," Kinnon said.
Ronan had to agree. He told Lucien about it, but Lucien merely shook his head with a smile.
"There is no need to hold a grudge against a dead person."
Annalynne, on the other side, felt that it was necessary to hold a grudge. She made a call to her brother first thing in the morning after she gave her consent.
