Chapter 58
The grand ballroom was filled with laughter, the clinking of glasses, and the quiet hum of conversation. Gold chandeliers hung from the ceiling, their light casting a warm glow over the elegantly dressed alphas and lunas from different packs.
I had been to many parties before, but tonight, something felt different. Maybe it was the tension lingering in the air. Or maybe it was the fact that both Killian and Alpha Vincenzio were here.
Standing beside Tyler, my arm looped through his, I kept my face neutral as we entered. Eyes immediately turned toward us, whispers rippling through the room.
“Look at her.”
“Isn’t she with Killian in the last grand ball? Now she’s with Tyler again? What a slut.”
“I heard she’s playing them both.”
I ignored them. Every ball it’s the same rumors. I’m tired.
I had learned a long time ago that people would talk, no matter what. Tyler didn’t seem to notice or care about the murmurs. His grip on my waist was firm, possessive. I was his, and he wanted everyone to know it.
But my eyes immediately found Vincenzio. He was standing near the back of the room, dressed in a sleek black suit, his posture commanding, as always.
And next to him? Killian. They weren’t speaking to each other, but the air between them was charged. I knew why. Neither of them liked each other. And the only reason they were tolerating this moment was because of me and possibly…the child in my womb.
It didn’t take long before I was slipping away from the crowd, heading toward the secluded hallway. I saw Alpha Vincenzio and Killian were already there, waiting for me in one of the private rooms. The moment I stepped inside, Vincenzio’s sharp golden eyes locked onto mine.
And then, he smiled. “Have you been a good daughter to me?”
I let out a small chuckle, tilting my head. “Yes, father, I have. I followed everything according to your plan.”
Killian scoffed from the side. “Debatable.”
I rolled my eyes at him. Killian smirked. “We need to hurry things up.”
I clenched my jaw. “I followed everything according to plan. And what do you both want me to do about it?”
Before either of them could answer—
The door suddenly burst open. The air shifted. And standing there, his golden eyes burning with fury, was Tyler.
“What the hell is going on here?”
