"Hey, Dad," Irene said, breaking through the tension that had built between us. "Want to give her some space? You're kind of towering over her a bit."

Irene's words were like a reality check; I realized I was indeed towering over Judy and making a scene out of the situation.

The man who had been speaking to Judy, I recognized him as Gregor, Elana's father. He was a former Alpha before he passed the title down to his Son after his retirement.

"Alpha Landry," Gregor greeted, holding out his hand for me to shake.

I never had bad blood with the guy; I liked him just fine. He was well off and was a fierce and respected Alpha. I never had issues with him.... Until now. The way he looked at Judy, eating her up with his eyes, made me want to rip his head off.

"Gregor," I greeted him informally, making his ears twitch. "Good to see you again."

He nodded, his posture tense as he cleared his throat.

"I was just about to ask Miss Judy for a dance," he told me, offering Judy his hand.

She stared at it with wide eyes, looking uncomfortable.

"I'm sure she'll join you for a dance later. Judy and I have some matters to discuss," I spoke before I could stop myself, I took a hold of Rachel's hand and at first, she lit up like a Christmas tree, a smile lighting her face. But then I brought Rachel's hand to Gregor's outstretched hand, shocking them both. "Have you met a good friend of mine, Rachel?"
