“And I did,” Niky argued in her best attempt of a mild tone, matching it with a sweet smile. She could sense, practically feel her sister’s tension and fought to loosen her own shoulders. There was no need to cause Natalya problems. “I don’t like masks, they make me uncomfortable,” she admitted after a moment before glancing over at the alpha. “No, I’m mingling now and then. You?”

She could be it. Pulling her own from her features. Everything about the event was uncomfortable. The dress. The mask—the fact that Natalya allowed someone to touch her face and air, remarked at the annoyance it took not to rip them in two when they wouldn’t shut up. “Why wouldn’t you come with your wife—are you not married?” And there was a sting to her words—hues reddened and bold, fell onto the woman in question before facing her sister once more.
