NovelBookMy heart wanted to race, but | had to focus on keeping it beating regularly. If | allowed my body to react in any
way, Vince would know something was up. | nearly jumped to my feet when Vince started around the desk, but
then the d**+++*d flashed complete and the screen reverted to the regular desktop as he looked at it. | nearly
cried in relief.
"Vince." My voice wavered from the adrenaline coursing through me. | clear my throat. "I have to leave. There is
nothing else to do. Brandon attacked me. Nix will refuse to bend the knee, something | am sure you realize." |
swiveled in my chair and allowed the next attack to go unanswered as | focused on him. The screen lit up the
side of my face as the attacker breeched a new firewall. "We both know he landed the attack because | refused
to engage." | allowed the rage enter my eyes. "He attackedwithout provocation. | won't let that happen
again." My voice was eerily calm. "The next the tries to lay a hand on me, | will kill him. And | won't feel an
ounce of regret."
Vince stepped back at that. "You can't mean that." He tried to smile. "You love him."
| laughed then at his absurd excuse. "I would gut him quicker than you could interfere. And | would piss on his
body." The calmness was back. | felt my eyes shift. "Do you think | should allow a weaker wolf to abuse me? A
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtweaker wolf to step on me?" Nix voice combined with mine. "Do you think | would allow the wolves in my pack to
think it is okay to abuse their mates because they got laughed at? Are you that fucking foolish? Or it is because
your mate allows you to fucking around behind your back that you value the mate bond so fucking little?" Our
rage was unmatched, and | was barely hanging on by a thread.
Nix and Megan raged inside of me. How fucking dare he fucking chere and demand we stay here? Nix was
snarling.
Megan dug her nails into the ground. He is as stupid as his son is.
"| care about my mate." Vince tried to fight back, but I just glared at him. "What?"
"You can pretend that the entire pack doesn't know how you fuck anything that moves behind your mate's back,
but I'm tired of pretending." My voice had zero inflection. All of my anger, my pain, | packed it away.
“HEY!” He stumbled forward, but | just growled, stopping him.
| pushed myself up, painfully. "Don't fucking hey me!" | snarled. "Look at me! He broke my nose, blackened my
eyes, broke my cheekbone and eye socket. | had two ribs coming out of my side. My lungs are half filled with
blood and | am sure | missed something."
"You are a wolf!" He snarled back.
"Yeah, and I'm not healing, am I?" | screamed back, and he froze.
| watched him do a slow blink, eyes dancing over my body. "Why aren't you healing?"
"That's an excellent question, Alpha.
What could stop a wolf from
healing?" shot back. | sank back
into my chair. "You act like you know everything that goes on in this fucking place, yet you have wolves in your
pack slowly dying. You have wolves here that are bullied by unranked and ranked members. Your own beta
attacked females wolves behind your back for his unranked daughter and you had no fucking idea."
"You are saying someone poisoned you?" His voice was soft, but he stepped back to the chairs in front of my
desk as | slowly turned my chair back to my computer.
"What | am saying is that | am an alpha wolf that would have healed all of this damage instantly yet its been a
few hours and | still have to have my ribs wrapped so they stay where they need to be so that when Nix can heal
me, she can do it properly." | started typing again, stopping the attack that was hitting another firewall. "I'm
saying that this isn't the first tthat my healing was stunted for random reasons. And the only thing I've eaten
today was from this kitchen. And we both know the omegas like me. So it wasn't them.” | cut him a look. "Your
security for outside of the pack is top-notch, but inside..." | trailed off. "You think that being who you are would
keep your people in line? But," | looked up. "Do you think you are a good enough alpha to be followed blindly?"
He scoffed. "No one is."
I nodded. "If my father's best friend can turn his back on him, being who he was, as loved as he was. You don't
stand a chance." | looked at him. "Thave the confirmation letter that accepts my transfer from the king myself.
And | will be leaving tonight or tomorrow morning." | turned back to my computer. Vince stared atfor a few
minutes
before getting up and turning to leave. "Oh, and Vince?" He froze. "Watch your back."
