Chapter 329: - - 329-
Davian shook his hand off after shaking the exec he couldn’t care to remember the name of, disliking how he had been staring at Lake; he moved closer to the Omega as a group of guests spotted him.
Lake stood quietly at Davian’s side while the group of executives tried to curry his favor. Davian’s reaction to them, reminded him of just how cold and forbidding the Alpha could be.
He had gotten so used to the warm, defanged version of Davian that he forgot that the Alpha could be this cold and intimidating.
He stiffened when the conversation quickly shifted to him as Davian was giving them nothing to work with.
"What a surprise for you to bring a partner to the festival this time..." A scantily dressed Beta sidled closer to him. "Do I know him..."
She trailed off on her last word, staring at Lake like she had seen a ghost when she got close enough to catch a whiff of his scent, her horrified expression dropping to his neck.
Davian put himself in between them, his disapproval loud on his face. "You don’t." He said bluntly, walking away right in the middle of their conversation.
They didn’t go very far before they had to speak to another group so Lake could still hear the conversation the past group were having after they left.
"That male Omega," The lady that had addressed him was saying, "He’s pregnant and mated..."
"He is?" Another voice chimed in, disbelief dripping down his voice.
"How many glasses have you had to drink, Marie?" Someone else accused.
