When he heard that sound, Eugene's first thought was confusion. Did this guy just growl at me?
His second thought was astonishment. His gaze shifted to Hannah, who should have been his priority. His instinct should be to protect Hannah when he heard an alpha growl, but why...did he just stand there?
With a slight frown, he looked at Arthur again, tracing the scowling face, the glare, the slightly hunched position in front of Hannah as if...
As if he was trying to protect her from something.
That was when Eugene realized, dumbfoundedly, that he was the threat. At least, in Arthur's eyes, something about him was threatening their daughter.
Which was ridiculous, but also made Eugene curious. The annoyance that flared up from that growl dissolved gradually. The fact that he didn't even feel threatened in front of a growling alpha was also quite fascinating.
