Chapter 33

• “Why do you care so much about him?” a cool, yet deadly voice hissed behind me, and I whirled round to see Slade glaring at me. His eyes were bloodshot in contrast to his cool voice, a vein twitched in his jaw, and his lips grew thinner. His eyes bored into mine, causing goosebumps all over my skin. Waves of anger rolled off him, but his voice remained cool, and I noticed the members of his pack that had gathered had their necks bared to him, not able to withstand their alpha’s anger. He’d been the one with another woman in his laps, yet he had the nerve to look so angry because I’d tried to find Daryl in my dazed state.
• My aim was to cause him as much pain as I felt, but he wasn’t hurt, he was angry because all that mattered to him was his self-respect.
