Chapter 24 - A Shock

Ares’s POV

I look to Arianna and then back to my Beta, Alec. Arianna looks freaked out. Why the fuck did Alec have to call me Alpha? I don’t need his help impressing her! She let go of my hand and stepped away like that scared her. Why would being an alpha scare her? She was an alpha by birthright.

I give him a pissed-off look and he immediately mind-links me, ’It’s your father!’

’What about my father? My father can wait! Can’t you see I’m trying to make introductions with my mate!’ I glare at him as I speak with him through mink-link. I know Arianna can hear our conversation if I really want her to, but I also know how to block everyone out of my head. That might be the one useful thing my father actually did teach me.
