Chapter 33: Punishment

When I arrived at Arthur's favorite restaurant, I entered from the cold rain. It was a relief to be inside where it was warm and dry. I shook then folded my umbrella and asked the host where Arthur was.

"He's over there, Miss Ophelia."

"Thanks."

He was at the same table we had sat at after the hospital and Leo fiasco. A few tables down, I noticed someone else nearby. My heart sank. It was Catherine.

"Arthur, don't sit there alone. Please come and join me." She waved to him as I stood next to him. Was she doing this just because I showed up when I did?

"Do you think I have nothing better to do than sit down and eat steak with you? I'm a busy Alpha."

Catherine's face flushed and her cheeks became instantly rosy in embarrassment. She turned her head and went back to her drink.

"Let's not wait any longer. Bring him up," Arthur said. I looked up at him for a clue about what was about to happen.
