SHE DOESN'T KNOW
Ripple gave way for Anne to enter first, "After you my lady," After she had entered, he strolled behind her making sure that Anne didn't leave his sight.
Anne gave Ripple a piercing glare before entering the house. She was scared but she didn't want to show it. The situation was making her tremble with fear.
As Anne stepped into the dimly lit living room, her eyes scanned the unfamiliar surroundings. Ripple remained by her side, a vigilant presence that unsettled her.
Damien, a tall and imposing figure, stood in the center of the room, his eyes fixated on Anne as she entered. His demeanor was calm, though there was an intensity to his gaze that made her uneasy.
Ripple's introduction of Damien as his Beta drew a skeptical reaction from Anne. "Beta?" she scoffed, her tone laced with mockery.
"Does that make you the Alpha, then?" Her laughter echoed through the room, challenging the seriousness of the moment.
