Chapter 28

• It’s true, though. He can stand making speeches and regretful apologies from now until eternity, but the simple fact is, Colton had a choice, and this is what he chose. He doesn’t get to whine like some spoiled pup about it now. He’s an Alpha, for God’s sake, and he needs to own it. Not act like some overdramatic teen whose parents are being lame and stopping him from doing something superficial.
• He stares back at me in utter shock, rendered mute at my outburst and unsure how to respond. Even his mind-link is silent. I don’t think any wolf this far below his station has ever talked to him like that, and he doesn’t seem like he knows quite how to respond. If I were anyone else, he probably would have me pinned to the floor by the throat and remind me who the Alpha is. Instead, he’s silently shocked that I even had it in me.
• I ‘arghh’ at him and shove him back abruptly, marching past, simmering with this sudden newfound rage, and I know it can only be some sort of delayed reaction to what happened tonight.
