Cayden’s POV
I was in the middle of an important discussion with Tori when that blasted maid showed up. Marcus had the audacity to send her to summon me immediately. I, an Alpha of my own standing, was not about to be ordered around like some common underling. The nerve of him!
As I stormed around the corner, I saw the maid scurry out of the dining hall. She quickly bowed her head in my presence and moved aside as I entered the dining hall, my eyes scanning the place for Marcus. To my great surprise, it was Sophia who awaited me instead.
I looked around the dining hall, trying to fathom if this was some kind of sick joke. It didn't take long for me to notice the angry scowl on Sophia's face, and I knew right away that this meeting was not going to be pleasant.
"Where is Marcus?" I asked in a flat, cold tone. I hoped this girl wasn't stupid enough to continue with whatever game she was playing. I had far more important matters to attend to than deal with her nonsense.
