Both of them were deep into their conversation, so they didn't notice when the Alpha came closer. Fenja and Irene shrieked when Jaxon spoke.
"Fenja, come here." Jaxon was frowning when he saw their reaction. "Did you do something wrong?"
The look of guilt washed over them because they talked about him behind his back, but Jaxon didn't pursue the matter further; he waved his hand to Fenja, indicating for her to follow him.
Without saying another word, Fenja stood up and walked behind him, but Jaxon grabbed her hand and made her walk next to him.
"Don't make it very obvious to outsiders," he said. He didn't explain in detail what he meant, but Fenja understood. "Call me by my name when there are people around."
"Yes, Alpha," Fenja said, but she quickly corrected herself when Jaxon squeezed her hand in warning. "I mean, Jaxon."
So, he indeed listened to the conversation between her and Irene earlier.
