Taking the wife's side

Seeing Damon and the Queen together, Harold couldn't help thinking about what Alvin had said and wondering what the deal was between them and why they were meeting in private at such an ungodly hour.

What could they have talked about? He tried to remember how the two had always acted around each other, but he didn't think of anything particularly suspicious. 

Damon had always been the King's Beta and the Queen seemed to be cautious around him since he was the next in command and held quite a position of authority in the Moon Kingdom. 

Or was that not it? Or maybe that was it and they were simply talking about the king? But why would they choose that odd hour? He wondered as he met the queen's gaze. Instead of looking away as he should, he held her gaze, making her brows pull together as she looked away from him.
