Shelly: hesitantly "Do you… have any food? I'm starving."
Rafael: eyes narrowing, voice dripping with disdain "Oh, ooooh… listen to the daring of this little filthy thing. She thinks she can order us around? Miss, we are not your servants. You'd better watch that mouth before it gets you in trouble."
A dangerous silence filled the air.
Alpha Rayan: calm but firm "My children… my babies… there's no need for this. She's a new member of our pack."
Luna Amelia: turning sharply toward him, voice laced with warning "Are you out of your mind, Alpha? Everyone will turn against you for this. Even your mother…"
Alpha Rayan: smiling faintly, a flicker of pride in his eyes "My dear wife, don't you worry about me. I am the strongest of them all. No one would dare hurt me… my dear."
The room felt colder, as if an unspoken challenge had just been thrown into the air.
