The atmosphere in the dining room turned suffocating.
Luna Eileen and Shannon looked shocked, on the verge of tears. Darren seemed ready to stand and shield Luna Eileen at any moment.
Edwin stared at me with a predatory gleam, while Larry looked at Alpha Will with visible hesitation.
Just as I had expected, Alpha Will would never allow me to stay in the same room as him, let alone eat together.
His gaze locked onto me, straight and razor-sharp.
"You may have no shame," he said coldly, "but you should understand what you're supposed to do now, shouldn't you?"
The anger boiling inside me slowly subsided.
That anger had come from the sense of injustice, but Alpha Will's treatment made one thing painfully clear.
I should never have expected even a shred of normal treatment in this house.
The sharpness in my eyes faded, turning calm like a still lake. I stepped back without saying a word.
