Settling into her seat beside Damien, Aurora deliberately kept her gaze fixed on her food, avoiding the angry and hateful gazes directed her way.
As everyone started eating, the dining room fell into a quiet lull, and Aurora felt a sense of relief. She wished fervently that no arguments or fights would ruin their breakfast.
Suddenly, Laura turned to face Aurora, and with an unexpected question, Aurora choked on her food.
"How did you meet the Alpha?"
"I am sorry," Aurora quickly apologized, hastily wiping her mouth.
"How did you meet Alpha Damien?" Laura repeated, her tone carrying an edge of suspicion.
"I met him in the mansion," Aurora replied firmly, trying not to reveal too much.
"Obviously," Laura rolled her eyes, indicating that meeting the Alpha in the mansion was expected. However, her true interest lay in something else.
Aurora felt embarrassed and unsure of how to respond, as Sarah's mother clearly held animosity towards her.
