Madeline’s POV I let Alpha Dimitri drag me away from the cabin. I couldn't escape his hold even if I wanted to. “You can’t put yourself in danger like that ever again, Madeline,” he said sternly. “Do you know what that would do to…” He stopped talking and took a deep breath. He looked at me and tightened his jaw. “Do you know what that would do to Mike?” he finished his question, but I had an impression that wasn’t what he really wanted to say. His jaw twitched. “It would kill him, Maddie,” he said. “He would be so hurt if something happened to you.” I looked away and gulped. Mike never cared if I was safe before so why start now? He didn’t even realize that his own mate was abusing me for months now. Every room in the house was soundproof, but that wasn’t an excuse.
