Ravyn immediately excused himself from the dining table and moved farther away before continuing the conversation, keeping his voice low and controlled as he walked quietly across the room.
"King Battal, it's been over a month. Are you doing well? A lady told me you were in the hospital, but she didn't give me your location."
Battal sounded surprisingly casual, so much so that Ravyn felt a chill run down his spine. Considering that the Lycan King had been unreachable ever since Voren took his limbs, Ravyn couldn't believe he had suddenly called just to exchange pleasantries.
Battal was not the kind of man who made contact without a reason. There was always a motive behind his actions, always a plan he was working toward, and Ravyn had no doubt that this call was no exception.
"Alpha Ravyn, I'm doing very well. I called to find out what's been happening around the packs."
