Chapter 54
Chapter 54 As soon as the doors to the ceremony hall were s hut, the guests began to whisper amongst themselves and point fingers at me. I didn’t take it to heart. I’m sure that whatever they were saying was probably right. Instead, I turned to Harper and Damian, who were walking toward me. “Who was that?” Harper looked at me, worry written all over her face. I’m sure her wolfie instincts told her that Roman wasn’t one of the “good guys”. “The Beta of the Starke pack. He need to see me for an important contract. That’s all.” I patted her hand with a smile, trying to brush it off. As if one could brush off someone barging into a wedding they weren’t invited to, where they didn’t know anyone there. And for a business contract, no less. When I said this, I deliberately raised my voice just a slight bit. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
There was a small microphone on Harper’s wedding dress, so that everyone would hear the mating vows. The guests heard my explanation and started whispering again. Now, I could hear them. They were saying things about how Harper’s friend was amazing, and how impressive I was to know Bela Starke, that Beta Starke thought I was so important and V Mlal to his pack’s business that he came to me for something. Damian’s pack lands were on the outskirts of Arcadia. They were small and insular in their dealings, and they didn’t work with or have relationships with the bigger packs, like Starke or Knight. But, of course, they all knew who the important Alphas, Betas, and packs were. My explanation was enough to dispel everyone’s opinions for the time being. Once people knew it was Beta Starke, the powerful and rich shifter, it suddenly didn’t seem so odd for him to burst into a mating ceremony the way he had.
Because he wouldn’t care about something like that. He would only care about getting what he wanted, when he wanted it. That was the right of someone in his position, was how most wolf shifters viewed it. However, I could tell that Harper still felt uneasy. She’d always felt uncomfortable with my being a human and working with contracts for large packs. If anything went wrong, I’d be the easy one to blame. *** Harper pursed her lips, gave her new mate a worried look, and then shifted her gaze back to Taya. Something was up. For sure. If it was really like what Taya had said, and all Beta Starke wanted was a simple contract, why did he bring so many of is Chapter 54 pack bodyguards here? Plus, he was touching Taya’s waist! His actions looked anything but business-like. To most, it might have looked like Beta Starke was interested in Taya romantically, but to Harper, it looked like he was threatening her. 3/3 The more Harper thought about it, the more worried she became. She took off the microphone on her wedding dress, held Taya’s hand, and looked at her anxiously. “If you’re in danger, you have to tell me. No matter what, I’ll help you.” Ever since they were young, Taya always seemed to attract bad people and relationships. And this man definitely seemed like he belonged in that category.
