Chapter 15

• After dinner, as the lingering tension hung heavy in the air, Alpha Alfred rose from his seat at the head of the table, his expression stern and forbidding as he addressed Samantha in a cold, commanding tone.
• "Samantha," he said, his voice cutting through the silence like a knife, "I would like to speak with you in my office. Now."
• Samantha's heart sank at the sound of her father's voice, the weight of his authority bearing down on her like a heavy burden. She knew that she had crossed a line with her provocative behavior at dinner, challenging his authority and undermining his reputation in front of their family and Pack members.
