Chapter 24: The Conspiracy at the Party

I had a quick chat with Alpha Marcus.

Sophia and I both fell silent for a while before she came over and brought up the conversation.

"I was in the wrong last night, and I hope you don't hold it against me," she said. "Cayden's throwing a party tonight. Why don't you join us?"

"Oh, no, I mean..." I was just looking for an excuse to refuse when Sophia cut me off.

"You don't want to go to the party with me; that means you're still hung up over last night." Her words left me speechless. I didn't want to cause any issues between the two packs because of me.

"Miss Tori, please don't refuse. I hope you'll accept my daughter's invitation, and I hope you two can get along," Alpha Marcus chimed in.

"Alright, I'll go." I had no choice but to agree.

"Great!" Sophia's expression changed rapidly, sending a chill down my spine. "Joy, fetch two of the most beautiful gowns!"

Alpha Marcus seemed pleased with the result. He excused himself, claiming business had called him away.
