"You hurt the woman I vowed to protect," he said, voice dropping to something terrifyingly quiet. "You touched her. Beat her. Tormented her. You killed my own child. And you dared to laugh about it.

Lisa's palms began to sweat.
"Alpha, I-
"Explain how you thought you were untouchable."
That stopped her heart entirely.
Her breath stuttered.
