| heard laughter from Rick out in the outer office. Brandon stood, lightening fast, and jumped over my desk. His
fist hit my face a
few times before he was hauled off of me. My face was on fire. | was pretty sure he broke my cheek or eye
socket.
Rick was grunting with the effort to hold him back. Alannah screamed and ran from the office, probably in search
of someone.
But | just stood and started laughing. Both men froze when they heard my soft giggles. Brandon looked horrified
when he looked
at my face. | assit wasn't because of him actually hitting me, so it might have been how my face looked. |
just laughed.
Nix and Megan growled and | could feel them push power into me, but | stopped it. Not yet. | whispered to them.
Amy! Nix snapped. Let us heal you.
| sent them calming thoughts. | need photos first. | need proof.
Megan growled. Bullshit. Just let us heal you.

| shook my head. I will, just not yet.
Vince burst into the room and froze. "What's going on?"
Rick let go of Brandon and stepped back. "Your son attacked Amy."
Vince looked atand winced. More for show than actual sympathy. He turned to Brandon. "You attacked your
chosen mate?"
| snorted. "You seem to be just as brain dead as your son." | felt something drip from my chin. | couldn't tell if it
was blood, tears,
or something else. But | just sank back into my chair.
Vince turned to me. "What happened?"
"I called off the mating last night. Brandon made his choice, and it wasn't me. | hope Shannon and him have a
long happy life, if he makes it past the inquiry."
Everyone in the office froze. Rick drew in a quick breath, but the sound was a little murky. He could have been
just breathing normally. | shuddered as | felt something in my face shift. It was the most unnerving feeling. My
side started to ache, and | didn't know why. So | stretched and then screamed as a rib that | hadn't realized was
broken popped through my skin.
Rick rushed to my side. "Shit." He grabbed my shoulder as | doubled over. | started laughing again, but that
quickly turned into coughing. I looked up at Brandon and | smiled. Red painting my teeth. He recoiled.
"What the fuck is wrong with you?" Brandon looked atwith disgust, like he wasn't the one who did this to me.
Rick dropped next to me. "Wrong with her? She was in here doing her job. What is wrong with you? You jumped
an unarmed
female from your own pack with zero reason for the provocation." Rick tried to liftinto the air and | swatted
his hands,.
| laughed harder, coughing up more blood. "What's wrong with me?" | tried to catch my breath. "I wouldn't worry
too much
about me. I'd worry about yourself."

"What the fuck are you talking about?" He snarled, but Vince held him back.
| wiped my chin from the blood. "You attacked another wolf without a proper challenge or reason."
Brandon screamed. "You fucking know why I hit you." Vince turned on him. "Shut the fuck up." He turned back.
"What happened?"

| stood, locking my knees so that | wouldn't shake. Nix and Megan pushed a little more at me, but still | held
them back. Please
guys, | have a plan.
"Your son happened." Rick scoffed.
Vince rolled his eyes. "I can see that...I'm asking what caused him to attack you."
| snorted, but | had to cut it off, because it hurt. "Is my nose broken?" | looked at Rick. He winced and then
nodded.
"Yeah, it's pretty bad. | think we need to get you to the infirmary. You aren't healing properly."
| nodded. "Makes sense. | haven't been feeling well." | groaned as | stood. The rib pushed out more, and |
screamed again.
"What happened?" Vince stepped in front ofand | growled low. He raised his hands. "I'm sorry but | need to
know before you
leave."
I rolled my eyes, but I think it was lost, as they were pretty swollen. "As | said, your son chose a mate...it's not
me. But he tried to cin here and pretend that everything was still fine, like he hadn't embarrassedin
front of the entire pack last night. | asked him if there was skind of brain damage. Rick laughed. He
attacked." | turned to look at Brandon. “I don't care if his feelings were hurt, or his pride was wounded. The king
will be hearing about this."
Brandon scoffed. "Like he is going to do anything., he won't be alive much longer."
