Chapter 69. Poison

Alexander’s POV

I couldn’t shake the feeling that Foster and Natalia were plotting something. Their unexpected alliance bothered me more than I cared to admit. Throughout the evening, I’d stationed pack members strategically around the ballroom to monitor their movements, but so far, nothing suspicious had occurred beyond their presence together.

“Any updates?” I murmured to Beta Ethan as he passed by with a drink.

“Nothing concerning, Alpha. They’ve been socializing, dancing, but nothing that suggests immediate trouble.”

I nodded, eyes still tracking Foster across the room. “Keep watching. I don’t trust either of them, especially together.”

After sending Ethan back to his surveillance post, I returned my attention to Summer.
