Stella felt him coming after her but she didn't understand what he wanted.

At first, she thought he was just curious about her, but the drunken alpha was being a nuisance and now?

There was no way she was his mate.

"Beta!"

He slurred his speech, approaching her with caution as Stella slipped behind a tree.

He could smell her, though.

"Leave me alone, Caleb!"

"You dare speak to an alpha that way?"

What could she do?

What was the appropriate thing to do at that time?

"I apologize, but you're being ridiculous."

She felt him get closer so Stella took off in the direction of the waterfalls.
