His Arrogant Human Mate novel Chapter 63

When he pulled away, I didn't miss the slight victorious glint in his eye. "You have more going for you than you know, sugar." A part of me melted when he said this, but it hardened back up as he kept talking. "Like your pert little ass."

Dominic kissed the top of my head when we entered the dining room that had momentarily been converted into the meeting room in which we would discuss what happened with Scott.

The alpha at my side could sense my unease and was trying his best to comfort me while looking like he was in business mode. "Everything will be alright," he assured me quietly. "Just ignore them."

He was referring to the hordes of people that had gone silent and were staring at the two of us. There was a mixture of anger and disgust, with a little bit of pity too. I got the feeling most people here would be on Scott's side, not even because they thought he was right, but just to show their disdain for me.

The dining table had been split in half, on each side were the people who would speak and give their side of the story and their arguments. Surprisingly, Nina and the Beta were on our side and the Beta was glaring down a few members of the pack that had just taken their seat next to Scott. Scott caught my gaze and his eyes narrowed, a subtle arrogant smirk growing on his face. He thought he would win this. And once I realized who he had on his side, I wasn't surprised. The same people at the party who had told Dominic what happened were sitting with Scott now.

"Dom-"

"I know," he growled. "The little bastard paid them off."

I swallowed thickly while clutching his hand tightly, suddenly very nervous. "We don't have a chance now, do we?"

Dominic shook his head. "We always have a chance, Cara. Myself and my advisor have a plan and if you follow along, we will be just fine."

"A plan? Why wasn't I involved in this plan?" I quizzed. "He attacked me-"

"Cara, when someone attacks my mate, I am under attacked as well. We are not as separate as we used to be, especially when it comes to interactions within the pack. In situations like these, you and I are a team."

"Unless you just create another problem. But that is probably a good idea. Only one drama at a time with you."

Just as Dominic asked me to, I remained silent for almost all of the intense discussion. Almost. As Nina claimed, many of the witnesses against us dropped their counterclaim and were guided out of the room. As more and more of the pack members were escorted out, Scott became more and more angry.

Then he snapped. "What the hell are we doing here, people?" Scott hissed, slamming his fists on the table.

Dominic clutched my hand in his lap, smirking lightly. "We are here to find a suitable punish-"

"Punishment for what? Don't you realize that girl betrayed you as well? I might have tried to get with her, but I made my advances obvious. A girl like that cannot walk into one of my parties and not be asking for it," Scott stated. "Your chosen is a human, Alpha. They have been known to whore around and then play the victim. The girl is a foreigner to all of us, how are we to know that she isn't just parading around and flashing herself to all of the men in the pack? Maybe I was the first one she was caught with. Why should I get in trouble for that?"
