I need to gain his trust

NALEDI’S POV

“Get Caellum on the line, please.” I fired off orders to Korah, who did as she was told, no questions asked.

Marcus walked into the sitting room, and I felt whole. I hardly felt the restrictions of the shadow spell these days. I didn’t know if that was a good or bad thing.

Of course, I knew it had something to do with my body getting used to functioning as a human but the problem remained that I wasn’t a human.

The last thing I wanted was to mistake myself for being what I wasn’t and slip up in a critical moment because I forgot I had some valuable werewolf-exclusive skillset at my disposal.

“How did it go?” Marcus asked me and my thoughts fizzled away.

A bile rose in my throat in replacement. “Terrible.”

If my words weren’t convincing, I reckoned my face was. “That bastard takes bastard to a whole new level,” I said, writhing in anger.

“My lady, the Alpha is on the line,” Korah spoke a little too late.
