"Pleased to meet you, Vivien," Thane said with a polite smile that felt just a touch too polished. "Are you new in the Undercity? When I visited the Central District a couple of months ago, I didn't see you there."
I realized then that the news about Rion taking in another Alpha's breeder hadn't spread this far. The Sixth District wasn't as tightly wound in gossip as Central, apparently.
"Yes, I just came here… around a month ago," I answered, keeping my tone light.
Thane nodded slowly, as if filing the information away.
"If I should visit Central District again, perhaps we can spend some time together. I admit, I'm curious about this new person under our Alpha's wing. I can also show you around some places in the other districts, if you are interested."
I blinked, caught off guard by his forwardness. Before I could even decide how to answer, a prickling sensation brushed the back of my neck.
