EMILY'S POV
Even before I got home, I could already sense something was wrong and when I walked into the mansion to James face set in a deep frown I knew I was right.
The weight of my responsibility bore down on my shoulders as I walked through the doorway to meet James. My emotions were still swirling within me but I had to push it all back.
“Emily, thank the goddess you're here!” James shouted across the room as he approached me with long strides.
“What's wrong?” I asked even though half of me was dreading his response. For a second, James scanned my appearance and I knew he wanted to ask me where I was but he held back.
“Word got to me that Alpha Alaric of the Ice Hill pack stormed out of the banquet last night in anger promising to make you pay for his public disgrace.”
I paled listening to his words, I knew that after last night Alpha Alaric would hold a grudge for what happened but I never expected it would be this serious.
