Not deaf

Nate's prayers were fulfilled when Ebony Mitchell came back to the company. She walked to the receptionist and asked: «is it time to talk?»

As if she knew everything.

Since Nate was expecting it - that woman came from Oldgate, after all - the girls at the front door knew how to react. They made Ebony walk to a waiting room and warned the Alpha, keeping everything calm - not to alert Lara.

No one had any intention of hiding it from her, but they felt it was too early to expose their Alpha female to stress. No one knew what had happened with Ebony, but their pack connection guided them to be careful.
