Chapter 16
Logan
When I left my conversation with the other Alphas, I saw that Emily was in the middle of a confrontation with some of the other
ladies. Among them was Eric’s wife, Pam.
I had no doubt she would try to stir up trouble the same way Eric did.

As I approached, prepared to interrupt their conversation, Emily had grabbed Pam by the collar. Her anger radiated off her, and I
felt it from at least ten feet away.
Instead of stepping in, I let her handle it for a little while. And I admired her work.
I had never expected her to handle herself so well.
I don’t need some quiet little Luna that keeps to herself. I needed a woman who could keep up with me. Sometimes, I had my
doubts that Emily could handle her side of the bargain.
This moment showed me a side of her that I had not expected.
She was a lot more than a pretty face to bolster my reputation. There were layers to Emily I hadn’t predicted. She was more
wonderful than I expected. At this point, she was perfect for me.
When I stepped in, it was only to encourage Emily to continue down the path she wanted. I had no intention of stopping her.
Seeing his wife practically on the ground also had Eric racing across the room. If need to be, I would have stopped him.
His wife offended my bride. I would let her take her revenge.
However, she did not have the chance. From upstairs, the balcony that wrapped all the way around the room, came my father’s
voice.
The banquet fell quiet. No one dared to speak over the Alpha.
“That’s enough! Logan, bring your fiancée to me. We must have a conversation.”
Emily immediately came to my side, and she looked up at me. I took her hand and led her to the stairs. The entire room watched
- us.
Neither of us looked back.
The silence we left behind was incredible. As soon as we disappeared, the whispering started. The further up the stairs we went,
the louder it all became.
We went up to the second floor, where there were private rooms.
My father waited for us.

Emily seemed to shrink beside me, but she had no reason to. I squeezed her hand to let her know I had everything under control
before we stood at the center of the room.
“Greetings, Alpha,” she said with a small bow of her head. My father didn’t pay any attention to her.
“Wherever you two go, there is chaos,” said my father. His back was turned to us as he looked over the edge of the balcony, his hands behind his back. He watched as the banquet hall slowly went back to normal.
Many of the conversations down there would be about us. To my father, it was a weakness to be in the latest gossip. And that was
all Emily and I had done.
