Regardless of how shocked I was, I realized that I needed to say something, or do something before I was severely punished for falling into the prince.
Based on the royals’ reputation, it probably didn’t matter that it was Sophia’s fault. I’d messed up, and that was it.
“Miss Black, I had thought that you were better than that. Now, as punishment for your unruly behavior….” As expected, it certainly didn’t matter to the unforgiving Beta.
I could sense danger in Xavier’s tone, but it was even more frightening that he actually knew who I was.
I’d assumed that Xavier, being the Beta of the Alpha King, wasn’t someone who could easily be fooled. But I hadn’t expected him to have already learned everything about us.
I heard Sophia’s voice as she snickered behind me. “Serves her right.”
