The large formal dining hall was decorated in red, black, and gold. A band was playing soft music in The room was

crowded with guests already, men in suits and women in evening dresses. They scattered around, so I didn’t overdress, Servers were busy laying down the food

plated in delicate dishes on the dining table. I couldn’t stop admiring everything. For all dinner partie leisure to really enjoy

the event. “Alpha, here's Miss Rosalie.” Talon had brought me straight to Ethan. Ethan's

blue eyes locked

on me. I saw surprise in them, but after that flicker, I couldn't discern any other emotion. Was he not stunning.” His words

were complimentary, but I was still very uncomfortable around him. The fearful shiver that crept up my spine had me hesitating

in my approach. “Join us,” Ethan said, and held out his hand. I looked at Vicky and Talon, and they bc offer. My hand slid into his.

This was the first time I had felt his hand in mine. His palm was dry and warm, and as soon as he helc mine tight, my nervousness about being around Romero faded away.

Keeping myself composed, I tried to remember what Vicky had said —

just be myself. A scoff came from MadayInn as she

looked me up and down. Her glare made her distaste for me clear. “We were still talking...” she grum "After you,” Ethan replied to Romero, and then gestured for me to follow. I followed behind Ethan as took my seat, I realized that he had sat me near the head of the table — next to him.

My eyes fell down. I placed my hands in my lap and waited until the others took their place. Talon toc a seat on the other side of me, and Vicky next to him.

“Alpha Ethan, thank you again

for your hospitality. We very much enjoyed our stay here. I look forward to working together with yo Unwanted Questions “My pleasure.” Ethan replied, nodding his head. I watched as Romero's eyes tur 's words seemed polite, but I just couldn't shrug off the unsettling feeling he gave me. As we settled lovely,” Romero said after a moment of silence. “Thank you. I have been trying to keep

up with the changing times,” Ethan replied. If my memory served, Ethan had

spoken more words tonight than in all the time I had ever been with him added up.

Romero chuckled at what Ethan said before his gaze slid over me again.

"So, Rosalie... How did you manage to find yourself in the Drogomor pack?” His

question caught me completely off guard. But, remembering how to be an Alpha’s daughter, I smile kind enough to allow me to stay in his pack until I am well enough to leave.”

I wasn't completely lying, but at the same time, I didn't want

to tell him something I shouldn't either.” Ethan also tilted his head. Although I couldn't tell whether t I knew he was listening.

Then I looked at Talon, whose

eyes met mine, and a small smile formed across my lips as he gently nodded his head in approval of for when you leave?” Romeros asked. I stopped eating my food and looked

up to him again. “One day, I hope to be able to do some traveling. There is so much of the world I w but of course, that will be with permission from Alpha Ethan.” I looked towards Ethan. Seeing no nec to read, and my books give me ideas of places yet to explore. One

day, I hope to be able to see those things for real. There is still so much I know nothing of...” A cold f head and look right into Ethan's piercing blue

eyes. There was something in his gaze that made me flinch. "...

But of course, that will be with permission from Alpha Ethan...” My eyes shot toward Vicky and Talon. said. “Oh, very interesting.” Romero said, sipping his drink. “I have never known a book to make me \ to visit somewhere...” Madalynn said with a sarcastic tone. I turned to her with a smile. “I'm

sure the books you are reading are equally entertaining in other respects.”

She just glared in response to my words.

"Madalynn isn't much of a reader,” Romero replied for his daughter with a chuckle. “But if you happe Unwanted Questions feel more comfortable about what was going on. Even Ethan's aura seemed to on about how she had traveled to different places and learned things from well-

experienced Lunas — things she offered to share

with Ethan later, if he was curious. As much as it was plain that Madalynn admired Ethan, it was the v Luna of this pack. “You know, Ethan... Having a companion is always a wonderful thing. Besides, ever to settle down

and find a Luna to take care of the womanly things around here. My daughter seems very comfortab don't you think?” Romero offered boldly. My eyes widened at his remark, and before I knew what w: Ethan say, “but I am not

seeking a mate at this moment, Romero.” “That is a pity,” Romero replied. “I thought you would mak me yet, and I am sure, if we spend more time together, he may change his mind. I am very skilled at the way she said “etiquette,” that it was directed at me. As my eyes locked with hers, I saw the sneer although it faded away

as soon as other people turned their attention to her. “That may be so, dear, but unfortunately, etiqu should hold.” Vicky's voice rang clear, and as I looked her way, I saw the shocked expression upon Ta capital. I hear the halls are flowing with eligible men.” Ethan's voice

was firm in his stance on the situation. I lowered my gaze, lifted my glass to my mouth to cover up a no need for me any more.
