It suddenly became apparent that the alpha's ego was exploding.

Stella wasn't a huge fan of pomp and circumstance so she and Claude talked more about the goings-on in their pack than anything.

"I'd love me a Caleb, but Orion would be nice, too!"

Claude always made Stella feel more at home and they adored each other's company.

To get surprise, Caleb kept glancing over at their table as if he wanted to make a beeline over to them and do as he pleased.

Once Stella caught sight of her stepsisters ogling the large man and trying to get his attention, her giggled couldn't be stifled.

Alpha Caleb looked absolutely annoyed by their presence and it was a small triumph to the young woman .
