Caleb clenched his jaw and gripped the phone in his hand so tightly it the plastic case began to crack.
He took a deep breath through his nose and slowly pushed it between his lips.
“How is it that I am just hearing about this,” he said with an underlying tone of anger.
Galen sighed on the other end of the line.
“I am sorry. I know I overstepped.”
“You think so?” Caleb growled.
“Knowing how Ash–” Galen started to reply but thought better of it, “how our Luna feels about the topic of Alice and any potential connection to her. I wanted to confirm some of the information before I presented it to you.”
Caleb sighed. Galen wasn’t wrong about how Ashleigh would react.
“I apologize, my Alpha,” Galen said.
Caleb could practically hear him lowering his head on the other side of the call. He felt a pang of guilt in his chest.
