Once Darek's eyes met mine and he froze in surprise, the chatter immediately died down, replaced by an uncomfortable hush.
Every head turned to me, the only figure in red in a sea of official black Alpha uniforms and the occasional elitists. Some of them looked shocked to see me and I could see Rhea's mouth visibly dropping open like she couldn't believe I would dare show my face after the spectacle she pulled last time.
She probably expected me to hide out in my room in embarrassment for the remainder of my stay after what she pulled. Definitely not to walk in there in a dress that even I thought I didn't deserve before.
I smirked as the slit on the side moved to reveal the rest of my legs, which made Darek pull a sharp intake of breath.
I didn't hesitate.
I kept my gaze fixed on Darek who was now looking at me with something close to awe, and I walked straight to the oval table, supporting both my palms over the surface, facing all of the confused Alphas and elitists.
