Damon
I left the castle, making my way out of Lady Palisa's quarters and towards one of the smaller residential buildings. The walk back to my assigned room felt longer than it should have.
My mind kept circling back to that look. That single, brief glance Fresna's Supreme Alpha had directed at me during the formal greeting in the courtyard.
I had been standing with Supreme Alpha Palisa when the other one came to welcome her formally. I had thought Lady Palisa was terrifying, but this one was downright dangerous.
I had been ready to offer the usual diplomatic pleasantries, and as if his presence hadn't been domineering enough, nothing could have prepared me for the way his eyes had slid to me for just a fraction of a second.
My heart had nearly died then and there as his cold look sent a horrifying chill straight through me.
Goosebumps riddled my body and I nearly jumped out of my skin.
