Chapter 60

• His eyes desperately searching mine as he tries to figure out where I'm going with this. We're standing so close that I can feel the heat from his body and I can see how tense his muscles are. He's holding himself in check by a thread. I try to ignore his captivating smell and how a large part of me simply wants to throw myself into his arms, no matter the horrible things he's said. However, I know I need to say these things to him. He needs to know that he's hurt me through his accusations and that he's wrong.
• "What gives you the right to speak poorly of someone you never even knew? What you said about my mother was disrespectful and rude and I sincerely hope that you show better judgement as Beta to the rest of the Pack."
• I can see a hint of regret on his features as he responds to my words and his nostrils flare, but he doesn't say anything. I look down for a moment, my eyes finding the planes of his strong chest. He is breathing rapidly. I close my eyes, finding strength to continue from the calming Earth below my feet.
