“How can he allow this to happen?! He will send one of our women to a beast!” I snapped, trying to free myself from my uncle’s hold.

I entered my room slamming the door shut behind me. How could he? When it was clear that father was killed by them… Ok maybe there was no proof, but he was killed weeks after this very Alpha threatened to kill him?
