Julia’s POV
I am equal parts dismayed, angry, and sickened by what Ross tells me. It sounds as if Rowan and my brothers will likely be in terrible danger if Ross doesn’t win the challenge. And he doesn’t sound all that confident that he will prevail over Terry. Although, honestly, if he seemed confident that he would win, I would probably be even more worried.
Outside of the Alpha suite, he appears to be the definition of confidence itself. I could tell he is tense, but I doubt anyone else noticed that he didn’t smile or joke around quite as much as he did only a week ago. Not that he had been all that much jovial, mind you. But I recall hearing everyone talk about what a good mood he appeared to be in since my return. I haven’t heard anyone say that for the past few days.
