Defying the Alpha

As the Alpha's daughter, Hannah has her life planned out: she will be married to whoever is selected as the new Alpha when her father steps down. However, she is horrified when she finds out that the next Alpha is her childhood bully, Luke Butler. Hannah then finds herself entangled with a mysterious vampire businessman the night of this soul-crushing reveal. With duty calling and sexual tension around the corner, Hannah has a tough decision. Will she defy the Alpha? — “Hannah, you are now eighteen. The time has come for me to pick the new Alpha.” “And my new husband,” I add, translating what this announcement actually means. He doesn’t answer but instead gestures for me to turn around. I do, and as I catch sight of the young man who has entered the room, my heart stops. Behind me stands Luke Butler. My bully since forever. “I refuse him.” Defying the Alpha is created by Jody Tilly, an eGlobal Creative Publishing signed author.

Chapter 8: To the Ball We Go

Hannah’s pov

Damon picks me up from Bridget’s house, and I do my best to keep them separated, knowing that Bridget will question him if the two ever cross paths. She doesn’t believe that he’s my boss, that it’s a work thing.

He stares at me as much as he can as he speeds through the streets, and I can feel my body reacting to his gaze. We finally reach the ball, and like a gentleman, he opens the door for me. The Valet takes the car, and we head inside.

The outside doesn’t look that impressive, but once we walk in, I quickly bite my tongue: high ceilings, huge paintings, and marbled floors. The grand staircase on both sides of the foyer does nothing to dim the massive double doors between them.

Damon leads us to the doors, and two works open on each side. Classical music greets us as well as another set of stairs leading down. I have no words to describe the beauty, so I allow him to drag me along.
