Viya's POV
We both turned to see Sophia stepping out, her eyes widening as she took in the scene.
"Well, well," she drawled, adjusting her designer handbag on her shoulder. "If it isn't the big bad Alpha himself. Aren't you a little far from your territory, Alpha Blackwood?"
Caesar straightened, his expression cooling instantly. "Ms. Bennett. Always a pleasure."
Sophia's eyes darted between us. "Viya, is everything okay?"
"Fine," I managed, my heart still racing. "Caesar was just introducing me to... my dog."
"Your dog?" Sophia repeated, confused.
Before I could explain, Yo-Yo barked happily and trotted over to Sophia, sniffing her shoes with interest.
"We'll continue this conversation later," Caesar said quietly, his eyes locked with mine. "Enjoy your reunion."
