It didn’t take her long to realize that what Briggs and Valor were talking about had to do with sex. She wasn’t supposed to be listening. So what? Being a nosy-parker isn’t the worst trait in the world to have. But now, the thought of them talking about it had her heart pounding. Why did it matter that they hadn’t had sex? Whose business was it anyway? Plus this whole ‘do not lower your eyes’ bit. Briggs was so serious when he had said it—so tense—she agreed because she didn’t want to disappoint him. She wasn’t entirely confident she could keep that promise though. Once she stepped out onto the lawn and glanced around at the crowd of werewolves, everything in her screamed to lower her eyes and hide behind Briggs. Not just because the steely look in the Alphas gazes demanded it but there was also an uncomfortable feeling in the air. Soon, every face she passed or stared at for a moment, examined her, only to quickly look away.
