Be careful was what he truly wanted to say to this, but there was no use in it, no sense in patronising him. Kieran knew the dangers well enough.

He didn’t know how they had begun speaking, but. Someone could be fishing for the wrong reasons. Someone could be trying to sniff werewolves out by asking questions, and Jude wanted to be sure this was not a trap.

If they found out something that changed the reality of being a werewolf, or swayed public opinion towards werewolf protections, some real support... Jude had half a mind to talk to this M himself.
