Replacement? I can’t be a replacement. I’m not staying. As soon as Alpha.as soon as Warren’s leg is done. I’m out of here. I glance up at the broody Alpha and wonder if that’s true, Is he going to let me go?

I frown at him. “How did you…?

“That’s what I thought and that, my dear mate, is why I’m not letting you leave.”

He sits back and both of us get l
