CHAPTER 51
*****
Roman's POV
His words kept ringing in my head— "I knew before the genesis of the wolves' meeting."
I wanted to ask him how, but this was Zeke—the highest-ranking of the vampire lords. That meant he had his own ways of knowing things, regardless of how impossible they seemed.
"You knew all of this but didn't tell me?" I questioned, my voice laced with frustration.
"And how was I supposed to tell you when we never had the chance to meet?" he countered smoothly. "You were the Beta. I couldn't just come waltzing into the Crescent Moon Pack without raising suspicion. That would have caused unnecessary alarm."
I didn't answer immediately, though his response left a bitter taste in my mouth. I wasn't a fool—I knew what he was doing. He was trying to evade responsibility, attempting to make it seem like his hands were tied. But I knew better.
