We passed several tables where elders and pack representatives were already seated. Their eyes flicked toward us briefly before returning to their conversations.
For now, no one recognized me.
Good
My escort finally spoke when we reached the center of the hall.
His voice was low.
“Are you planning to explain what you just did?”
I slowly turned to face him.
Up close, he looked even more dangerous.
Tall. Broad–shouldered. Dark hair cut neatly at the sides. His eyes were a cold steel gray that studded me with sharp intelligence.
“I needed to get inside.” I said calmly.
“That much was obvious”

Because guards would never question you
Because I was desperate.
But I only said one word.
“Instinct.”
A curious look flickered briefly in his eyes.
I could bet it was interest.
“Interesting instinct,” he replied.
Before I could respond, a loud voice carried across the ballroom.

“Alpha Holmes of Silvercrest Pack has arrived.”
My entire body went cold.
Slowly, the crowd parted toward the grand entrance.
And there he was.
Holmes stepped into the ballroom with the easy confidence of someone who believed he owned every room he entered.
His black formal coat fit him perfectly, the silver Alpha crest gleaming under the chandelier light.
Beside him walked Bethany.
My sister wore a deep blue gown that clung elegantly to her figure. Her dark hair was styled in soft waves across her shoulders.
She looked every inch the Luna of Silvercrest.
My stomach twisted violently.
The crowd murmured approvingly as they walked further into the hall.
Several Alphas approached Holmes immediately, greeting him with firm handshakes.
Bethany remained at his side the entire time.
Like she belonged there.
Like she had always belonged there.
My escort followed my gaze

“That makes your entrance tonight even more interesting”
Holmes suddenly stopped mid–conversation.
His head turned slowly.
Our eyes met across the ballroom.
For one long second, neither of us moved.
Shock flashed across his face.
Pure disbelief
Bethany noticed it instantly. She followed his gaze.
And then she saw me.
The color drained from her face,
My escort shifted slightly beside me.
“Your entrance just became the most entertaining event of the evening,”
Holmes excused himself from the Alphas around him and began walking directly toward us.
Bethany followed half a step behind him.
My wolf stirred faintly,
Weak… but alert.
The stranger beside me didn’t move. He simply observed.
Holmes stopped a few feet away.
His eyes burned into mine.
“How,” he said slowly, “did you get here?”
This voice was caini.
Bethany recovered quickly.
