Everyone else was finishing their meals and beginning to leave the table, only encouraged by the former Alpha and Hunter. The fact that I have not finished seems irrelevant to any of them. I know my late arrival had irritated some, but was the rule of waiting until all had finished eating before leaving the table not considered good manners here? For in my pack nobody would leave until everyone had finished...
A few pitiful glances were thrown in my direction, or that of disgust. It seems my late arrival was going to be considered my fault despite my explaination. Obviously nobody would see their new Alpha as being in the wrong. My stomach twists with discomfort. The longer I sit here the more I wish I had simply turned around and headed home the moment Aziz mentioned I was late.
I sigh
