~Lydia POV~
I watched everything from the side of the grand hall, my anger simmering just beneath the surface. The birthday celebration for Silas was in full swing, with guests laughing and talking loudly. Jethro stood near the center speaking with an Alpha from another pack. Serah is still trying to control herself, which I hate with passion because I want her to lose and show them the beast in her, but the Alpha looked straight at Jethro and asked, "Why is it that your concubine is ordering your wife to stay back?"
"Ooh, I didn't notice that." Jethro smiled calmly and turned to me. "Lydia, stop."
The Alpha's Luna smiled kindly at Serah. "You can be excused if you need to be, my dear."
Serah stood up quickly and left the hall, which I followed right behind her. The moment we were alone in the quieter corridor, Serah started panting heavily. I stepped closer with fake concern.
"Why did you leave the banquet to come here and pant like this? Is something wrong?"
