Anne's brows knitted together as she considered this. Nicky was the type to be upfront, never one to hesitate or hold back. If she had found her mate, there would have been no mystery about it. Perhaps, she thought, some invitations hadn't gone through as they were supposed to. Her eyes shifted back to Damien, remembering the odd absence of the Thunderbolt Pack.
"Speaking of packs, why didn't the Thunderbolt Pack arrive?" she asked.
"They were on the guest list, but as it turns out, it seems they were never sent an invitation."
Anne frowned. "Never sent? How could that be possible?"
Damien ran a hand through his hair, exhaling. "My mother may have something to do with it. She's had her suspicions about Thunderbolt for years now, especially their Alpha. She might have removed them from the list altogether. From what I gather, she sees them as a hostile presence rather than an ally."
