Antonia's POV
My heart racing, I turned to see what had caught Phil's attention. A pair of glowing eyes stared back at me, and I recognized the unmistakable scent of Victor but with a tattoo of a beta.‘Our Betas and Gammas had tattoos where they could be easily recognized by anyone’. A wave of shock washed over me - Victor was never meant to be beta, not with the greed he had. Rodrigo must have appointed him after I left.
Victor emerged from the shadows, walking towards me but since I had a cloak, he hadn't recognized me and the fact that I was now half Lycan half vampire.It was a bit had for the wolves to detect my scent.
Phil stepped forward, his eyes flashing with anger. "Victor, back off. She's under my protection."
Victor snarled, baring his teeth. "Or what? You'll bite me? I'm not afraid of you, bloodsucker."
My instincts screamed at me to run, but my legs seemed rooted to the spot. Phil's eyes locked onto mine, and I saw a flicker of warning there.
