Chapter 292

“You can’t make me!” I scream, hurling the glass of water I was holding across the kitchen.

It smashes into the wall right next to Axel’s shoulder, but he doesn’t so much as flinch.

He just stares at me in bored contemplation, like he would literally rather be anywhere else than stuck in this kitchen with

were assisting him in the huge, luxuriously appointed, modern kitchen all scramble to flee the room, leaving me alone with

will want to catch up with you. You’re the daughter of the last Alpha, the sister of the current Alpha. You’re important to the morale of the pack, and you will act accordingly.”
