Don't Poke the Luna (Xena and Ryder)

Chapter 230

Xena's POV

"DAD! Ryder roared as he burst through the office door.

I was shocked to see my father sitting in the office. "Dad?" I asked, confusion evident in my voice.

"Xena." Dad stood up and gave me a hug. His face was flushed red with anger, and I knew they had been arguing. The tension in the air was suffocating.

"This is a private meeting, Ryder," Alpha Benedict said firmly.

"No. I'm done with you excluding me. I'm done watching you continue making questionable decisions for this pack and my mate. I don't know what you're involved in, but this ends now." Ryder slammed his fist down on Alpha Benedict's desk.

The thunderous sound made my heart race, adrenaline beginning to surge. I could feel the anger and protectiveness radiating from Ryder, which both moved and worried me.

"What is he talking about?" Dad released me and walked over to face Ryder and Alpha Benedict. This formed a triangle of masculine

confrontation.
