Chapter 154 The First Dance

Aubrey’s POV

When Mariana suddenly appeared, I didn’t say a word. Instead, I turned to Alpha Henry, curious to see how he would handle it.

His expression hardened instantly, his pupils narrowing into a dangerous slit under the light. “Something you need?”

The coldness in his voice was a sharp contrast to how he’d just spoken to me moments before.

The werewolves around us immediately picked up on the shift in the air, the low murmur of whispers spreading like ripples across water. Mariana clearly hadn’t expected him to greet her with such chilliness.

She glanced at me, smothering the resentment in her eyes with a smile.

I arched a brow, then took Alpha Henry’s hand, my lips curving. “Well, since you’re so eager, I wouldn’t want to disappoint you. Alpha, shall we open the dance together?”

The center of the hall had already been cleared for the opening dance, waiting for the evening’s main figures. At my words, the surrounding werewolves began to cheer, closing in to form a circle around us.

Mariana’s expression soured completely.
