CHAPTER 142

  Goomer watched as Douglas heaved heavily at a continuous pace; he had been acting depressed for weeks, especially since he heard about Dylan still being alive. What surprised him was Douglas's refusal to rebuke him or have him punished as he would do on a normal day.

  Instead, Douglas had called Goomer, and they had been sharing drinks together constantly for days. It worried Goomer that the Alpha, who always seemed to have everything in order, was clueless about what to do. Douglas might be annoying sometimes, but he has been good to Goomer in his own little way, and that has been the most love he has showcased to anyone.

  Despite the pleas from the pack council, Douglas refused to let the Luna free until Goomer had pleaded on her behalf, which also surprised him. Having someone so powerful put his trust in a low-status individual like Goomer had Goomer's heart soaring.
