Chapter 4: Shock Sophie

"What?" I ask, shocked. "Mother, the party is just getting going!! want to dance more and there's going to be cake."

"I've already sent some cake to your room, Sophie. Warrior Julianne is going to escort you to your room. Do not go anywhere else other than your room," she says as Julianne steps up beside her. Her eyes are tracking all around the room.

"Let's go, Alpha," she says.

"But mother..."

"Sophie!" my father barks roughly. He's never used that tone of voice with me before. He sees my shock and moderates his tone. "Do as your mother says."

"Yes father," I say, lowering my head and following Julianne out of the room. I turn and look one more time at the party-goers. Most of them are watching Alpha Calvin and Amelia, but my eyes lock on grey ones and Alpha Hunter winks at me as I step out of the ballroom.

Hedda begins purring in my head. I ignore her, still irritated that I have to leave the party.

Even though I'm annoyed with my mother, there's no reason that Julianne should miss the fun.

"I know where my room is, Julianne. I can get there by myself," I

say, just as one of the ranked males steps into Julianne's path.

"Hello pretty, are you coming back?" he asks her, glancing at me over her shoulder.

"I'm afraid it's my job to make sure Alpha Sophie makes it to her room. Move out of my way or I'll move you," she says, taking a defensive stance.

"Feisty, I like that. If you get bored, come find me," he says. I've never seen a man speak to a woman that way. It's...

'Covetous,' Hedda says. And she's right. I realize the hairs on my arms have gone up during the exchange, leaving me feeling uncomfortable.- "Let them pass, Owen," I hear Alpha Hunter's voice behind me.

I turn, seeing that his face is much more serious than it was a moment ago. His hard gaze never leaves Alpha Owen's.

"You ruin all my fun, Hunter, especially after you and your friends kept Alpha Sophie to yourselves all night," he says, but he moves out of the way.

I see Julianne's shoulders relax and we move past Alpha Owen.

When we're far enough away and walking up the stairs, I look back almost expecting to see Alpha Hunter watching to make sure I go upstairs. "What was that about?" I ask Julianne.
