Ava stopped her tears and wriggled her feet for her father to put her down. The Alpha’s huge hands immediately went on either side of her face as he looked at her.
"Who hurt you?"
She saw the anger in his eyes as he wiped her tears and knew there would be hell to pay if she told him everything.
"Nobody. I'm just so happy to see you," she lied.
Alpha Roland looked behind her and growled. Only then did she notice that Derek and Myles came to stand behind her, and their heads were bowed after the Alpha's warning.
"They're my friends," she assured him quickly.
"Names," her father growled.
The two wolves both flinched before they answered. She had never met an Alpha who exuded as much authority as her father. At least, not until she had come to Phoenix Academy and met Zeke.
