A front for the pack

SLADE POV

A soft rap sounded on the door of my office, and before I could invite whoever was at the door in, it was opened.

Groaning, I glared at Jude as he stepped inside.

"It's urgent," He said and wasted no time getting to the point. "The Luna met with me yesterday." His tone was grave, and he stared at me.

I arched an eyebrow. "And asked you about what was between Jules and me?"

He nodded, walking over to my desk and placing a steaming cup of coffee in front of me before taking a seat.

"Yes," he said, "she wanted to know what was between you two and mentioned 'IT.'"

By 'IT', I understood what Jude meant and didn't need him to elaborate further, only that I couldn't help thinking about what Winter wanted out of everything she was doing.

Of course, she wanted answers, and I told her to forget about it. That might have fueled her curiosity further.

I wonder if Jude told her anything. "And what did you tell her?" I asked, tearing my eyes away from the notebook I'd been scribbling in.
