Alpha Fernando’s punch landed hard on my face.
I looked up and met his eyes.
“You hit me.”
He frowned, jaw clenched. “You hurt Bianca. You should apologize.”
“She’s a Beta. I’m just a Gamma,” I said coldly. “You really think I could hurt her?”
Fernando’s face darkened. “Apologize, Thalia. Now.”
I narrowed my eyes. A low laugh escaped me. “Over my dead body.”
I could feel my wolf soul, Leona, roaring beneath my skin. She was clawing at my bones.
Her growl echoed in my mind: “The bond is broken. He no longer deserves you.”
I turned and walked away.
But Bianca wasn’t done. In her sickly-sweet voice, she cried out, “Ow, my head hurts,” and collapsed dramatically into Fernando’s arms.
“She attacked me. Tore my shoulder channel open.” She bit her lip, playing the perfect victim.
