James's POV
The training session had ended, and everyone was heading back to the locker room. I was still feeling good about how William had handled himself on the field. He had surprised a lot of people with that pass. I walked beside him, talking about what we could improve for the next practice. The other players were chatting and laughing, but I could feel some eyes on us.
When we reached the locker room, William went to his locker first. I stayed close, just in case anyone tried anything. Most of the guys were changing and talking loudly. I opened my locker and started taking off my football kit.
Then I felt someone behind me. A strong hand grabbed my shoulder and pushed me against the locker. I turned around fast. It was Ronald. His face was red with anger, and his eyes were burning. He was an alpha, tall and built, but I wasn't scared of him. Not even a little.
