Ava's POV
There was absolute silence. I blinked, trying to comprehend what I had just heard.
“Huh?”
For a second, I genuinely thought I’d misheard him. “Victor...” I stared at him like he’d lost his mind. “What did you just say?”
His expression didn’t change. “Is he your fiancé?” Victor repeated evenly.
Everyone froze. Even Anderson looked momentarily stunned.
Then my temper exploded. I slapped Victor’s arm away violently.
“Have you completely lost your mind?!” I snapped.
My wolf snarled furiously beneath my skin.
“Did your brain rot overnight? Or did too much fresh air finally destroy your sanity?”
Nora coughed into her blanket to hide her laughter. Ignoring Victor completely, I turned hurriedly toward Anderson with burning embarrassment.
“Sorry, Mr. Shelton,” I said awkwardly.
