79 Nathan will not be the Alpha …

I made my way back to the car deciding if I should be happy or angry .

When I reached the car , Nathan was exactly where I’d left him , pacing , his face tight with

inside me .

“ Are you okay ? ” he was by my side in seconds , brushing a gentle hand over my shoulder .

Nathan pulled me close , pressing a kiss to my temple .

“ Was Ramsey there ? I won’t let him hurt you anymore .

I leaned into his embrace , my hand tightening beside me .

Lenny had a message

from him .

It should have been the most important thing on my mind , but all I could think about was the words Lenny had told me about Ramsey .
