[MIKHAIL]
"Fortify the borders of Kiyoto… Not a soul is to leave or come in here, regardless of what they say they come for," Mikhail said to Anton who was staring at his alpha in confusion.
He had never seen Mikhail that unsettled but he knew his place in the alpha's life, so he wasn't about to push for more answers.
Even if he got the answers he was tempted to seek, he wouldn't be able to do much other than follow the alpha's orders.
Life had started to prove once again that it was filled with shit and Mikhail was feeling the brunt of it all, again.
"Yes, alpha," Anton responded with certainty and conviction.
He knew that the alpha was running from something but he wasn't going to ask; as tempting as it was for him. Perhaps there would come a day when the alpha would willingly ask him for help, right?
"Why'd you send her away?" Ilya asked once they were back in the Alpha's study.
