Varon's mind was a rollercoaster as he made his way past the huge wooden doors of the King's private court.
What mate? What nonsense are you speaking of? Selene has no wolf and hence she can have no mate!!! Varon had said furiously to Xander, who had shrugged at his friend.
She has a mate, and as much as I would like to tell you more, I'm sorry but I can't do that, my dear friend. Not until I am certain that I can trust you.
Even now, Xander's words floated about in Varon's head, fresh as if they had only been heard minutes ago.
Varon did not ask Xander any more questions then, neither did he wonder why he said that. He knew what it took to be a spy, and so there was really no need for further questions.
Besides, the real questions he wanted to ask after having that conversation with Xander were all directed to none other than his older brother.
The King himself.
