#Chapter 155 – Blow Out

“Victor!” I cry, pounding down the stairs after him. He’s already at the back door, ready to pull it open and storm out. “Stop!”

He turns on me then, and I can see that he’s working hard to keep a leash on his rage.

I stop dead in my tracks, my eyes going wide, knowing very well that I should not push him.

An Alpha at the end of his tether is a dangerous thing.

I reach out a hand, sorrow and apology written all over my face. “Victor, please,” I say, “we can talk about this -”

“Let you explain,” he says, rage lighting anew in his eyes. “Do you think you can explain away this kind of betrayal?!”
