The Alpha & Beta’s Regret – Chapter 18

Jack POV

It appeared that Alpha Orien was more than annoyed by his Luna’s attitude and the yelling at him in front of others, especially an allied Alpha and his Beta. Out on the front steps of the packhouse for all their pack to see, and there had been a fair few of their pack members about, not to mention half the teens strolling home from school had witnessed it as well.
