Chapter 9

The queries didn't last long. Although some guys tried fighting their way out, everything eventually played out when Alpha Derek appeared in front of the crowd. No one was able to complain anymore at that point.

His dominating alpha aura was enough to make everyone silent. He didn't even need to speak to shut the noisy ones. But before he left, he sent me one last glare that made me somehow smile.

At least he's not ignoring me that much?

Facing the notorious Arndon Woods, everyone around me was nervous or worried about their lives. I saw some weird dudes getting excited- while here I am bored as hell.

I groaned. "Just when will this start?"

"Hey, shortie."

I turned at the voice behind me and saw a tall guy with blonde hair staring at me with an amused expression. And because I was a great actress, I immediately smiled upon locking eyes with him.

"Me? Shortie? I'm 5'6."

"Well, I'm 6'2, so you're short on my perspective."
