TANYA'S POV
"Without a doubt, my dear," I replied, my voice shaking. "I would feel privileged to be your partner."
When Alpha Horus placed a ring on my finger while holding my hand, I realized I had emerged victorious in the game. Before long, I would be the one making decisions.
The group burst into cheers and clapping, celebrating our engagement. Smiling and blushing, I portrayed the role of the joyful future bride.
While we embraced and kissed, I couldn't stop marveling at how flawlessly my plan had come together. I had tricked Alpha Horus into asking for my hand in marriage, which would grant me greater influence and authority within the pack.
However, when we both pulled away and locked eyes, I noticed something in them that caused my heart to skip a beat. It was a faint hint of doubt, a subtle glimmer of suspicion.
