Tonia's POV
The two men stared at me as if I had just announced that gravity worked backwards.
"What did you just say?" The second man finally broke his silence. Between the pair, he radiated the most hostility.
"I apologize," I lowered my gaze. "But I truly cannot see him."
"You're asking us to carry a message back to Alpha Kermit? You expect us to inform him that you declined his summons?" The second man demanded, moving closer to my table.
I had to admit, he possessed an undeniable appeal - if appeal meant resembling someone who could shatter concrete with his bare hands - but his presence felt suffocating.
"Listen, I think she made herself perfectly clear," Lucien interjected before I could respond. "Maybe suggest your Alpha try sending roses or candy next time? Women actually appreciate those gestures."
The men clearly weren't in the mood for humor.
"You will accompany us immediately," the second man declared with finality that left zero room for negotiation.
