Chapter 8

• DEX
• One of the hardest parts about being an Alpha is learning to keep all your emotions in check—the anger, the helplessness, the violent urge to strike back.

• I follow behind Desmond and Maxwell in silence. They can both sense my frustration, even if I don’t say a word. The connection between an Alpha, a Beta, and an Omega isn’t as deep as the one between bonded mates, but it’s strong enough to feel the pull of each other’s emotions. They know how tense I am.
