Nina rushed out of the room in a whirlwind, leaving me, Aldric, and her mother standing there in her wake. I was furious, with my hands curled up into fists at my sides. The fact that Aldric had sent spies to keep watch over us in Mountainview was one thing, but the way that he had spoken to Nina almost made me sick.

I couldn't just stand idly by while he hurt my wife.

Without another word, I turned on my heel and began storming toward the door. I needed to follow Nina-I couldn't leave her alone right now. But before I could reach the door. Aldric's tall and imposing form stepped in the way, blocking me from leaving.

"Move, growled, shooting him an angry glare.

*Enzo, we need to speak privately," he said, folding his large arms across his chest. He was somehow taller than me even though I was quite tall myself, and he was even bigger. It was honestly intimidating, but I was too angry at the moment to fear the Alpha King.

"Not now, Aldric," I said, attempting to sidestep around him. "My wife needs me after what you just said to her."

But Aldric's gaze didn't waver, and he was unyielding in his stance. "She'll be fine," he said." You and I need to have a talk, Man to man."

Nina's mother, who had been a silent spectator throughout all of this, scowled at Aldric and cursed under her breath. "You were too harsh on her just now," she muttered, her voice filled with frustration. "And you know it, Aldric."

Aldric's eyes flicked briefly to Nina's mother, but he still didn't waver despite her biting gaze." Nina is old enough to hear the truth, Angelica," he said firmly. "It's about time she leams that she needs to grow up and take some accountability."
