Selena's heart skipped a beat when the man's eyes turned in her direction. Without thinking, she lowered herself down, sinking into the shadows of the corner. She pressed her back hard against the wall, holding her breath. Her spell kept her hidden.
She knew he could not see her unless she allowed it. Still, her chest tightened. Her hands shook.
She clenched her fists tighter, fighting the anger that wanted to burst out of her. Rage burned in her mind, clouding her thoughts. But she forced herself to calm down. If she lost control now, everything would end here.
Slowly, she breathed in and out until her body was steady again.
The man scanned the hall but found nothing. His eyes returned to the Alphas standing before him, who were not even taking him seriously. They even stared back at him with defiance.
His face darkened. His lips twisted. A low groan left his throat, heavy with frustration. But still, the young Alphas did not move. Their silence was louder than words.
