Julia froze. The Head Omega looked at Willow. Then at Julia.
“Luna, she is carrying a pup…”
“Are you questioning my orders?”
“No, Luna.”
“Then do as I say!”
The Head Omega swallowed. Slowly, she began walking toward Julia. The whip hung at her side. Julia instinctively stepped backward.
“Please. Don’t do this.”
The Head Omega didn’t answer. Julia’s heart began beating faster.
"Lila?"
"I’m here."
We need to protect the pup.
"I know."
Julia glanced toward the door. If she could reach it, perhaps she could open it and call the guards. But Willow was standing between her and the exit. And the Head Omega was getting closer.
“Head Omega,” Julia said firmly, “I am ordering you to stop.”
The female hesitated. Willow scoffed.
“Ordering her? You still think you have authority here?”
