Chapter 146 Book 2 Healing The Ruthless Alpha

• When he said there was no need for me to be out and about, he meant it. After he not so subtly told me my presence in his pack was irrelevant, he had his driver take me back to the Alpha Castle with Sebastian in the front seat. The ride back was uncomfortable and unfortunate. I felt like crying but I told myself I could not break down in the presence of these men.
• Every time Cahir and I were alone together, he found a way to hurt me without care. The things he said to me – the way he made me feel – no one else had been able to make me feel so worthless in a long time, not since I decided I would live for myself rather than for the people I wanted to please.
• With every word, every action, he reduced the self-esteem I was trying to build after a lifetime of being stepped on in Silver Moon. He didn't even have to try hard to hurt me. He had a knack for breaking me with just a few words.
