My eyes met Ryan for a moment and before I knew what was happening, he stepped towards his father, his face etched into a scowl. “Dad, are you really dictating who we should be friends with now? Is getting us girlfriends not enough? What’s next, you’re going to dictate when we would have kids and the number of kids we should have, right?” Silence followed his words. Luna’s head snapped towards her husband and to Ryan, her eyes wide in shock. From her reaction—and the way everyone seemed to freeze—it was obvious that nobody directly opposes to the Alpha. Alpha Taggart dismissed me casually as he glanced back at Ryan. “Don’t be silly. I only want the best for you, but since you’re asking, yes, I know exactly when you should marry and give birth.”
