Adeline POV
My father stared Zale down with intense displeasure. He did not bother to reach out his hand in greeting at all.
“Carmine Alpha, huh?” Hendery grunted. “James Seoh’s son…You’ve got some nerve to show up here unannounced, without an invitation, and in a relationship with my daughter without my permission.”
Dad took off his gloves and threw them to the ground before rolling up his sleeves. He was a large and burly man, easily towering over Zale and was round about the same strength as he was. He was not an Alpha in name, being a rogue denied him of that right, but biologically he was an alpha in every sense of the word.
“I don’t want any trouble,” Zale said as calmly as he could, raising his hands up as a show of peace. “Addie invited me, I’m here as her friend, not as an Alpha.”
I darted my eyes between the two men, wondering if I should step in and put an end to this or if doing so would be disrespectful to them both.
