His lips curled into a smile at her bemused face.
"I am Alpha Blaze, Damien's uncle."
She managed to compose herself, offering a polite nod.
"Hello, Alpha Blaze, I am Anne."
"Anne, are you enjoying the party?" Blaze asked, his voice smooth.
"Yes," she replied, forcing a smile. "It's lovely."
"Good," Blaze said with a knowing look. "Though I imagine Liana must be giving you a hard time."
Anne blinked in surprise, her smile faltering. She glanced around to make sure no one else had heard.
"How… how did you know?" she asked, her curiosity piqued.
Blaze smirked slightly, his eyes gleaming with the faintest hint of amusement. "I know my sister-in-law very well. She's ruthless, Anne. Not the kind of woman to underestimate. You should be careful around her."
Anne nodded slowly, her mind swirling with questions. Was this a warning, or was he testing her?
