I could beat him to a pulp. Even break his nose. But I didn’t want to fight. He needed to answer me about his appalling actions against my daughter. Anthony sent his warriors to this pack to help strengthen their numbers–to prevent them from falling to the same fate as other packs. Instead, Jonathan has used this

opportunity to torment my child?

What the hell is wrong with this man?!

It appears Jonathan expected my riotous presence. I wasn’t more than a foot away from his door when he swung it open, greeting me with a nostalgic smile. Does he think I’m stupid? Faux obliviousness doesn’t suit him, and it sure as hell won’t calm me down!

So, what do Alphas normally do when they’re being silently mocked by others?

The logical answer is to put those people in their place. But Kiya’s eyes when she revealed her assault never left my mind. It broke her, choking up at the heaviness of concealing a big secret. My fatherly instincts wanted to protect her. What angered me the most, is how Jonathan tried to free the man who hurt her, citing bogus laws that no one follows anymore.

I punched him in the face for that very reason. Jonathan didn’t flinch. Instead, he grabbed a handkerchief from his table and blotted the blood away from his lip. He sighed, stuffing the cloth in his pocket before gesturing to his couch.

“Would you like some tea, old friend?”

incredulous look. “I don’t want tea. I want answers.”

“Let me guess,” He rolled his eyes. “Your child told you what happened and now you’re playing Superman? Must you always believe the outrageous claims of a woman who hasn’t matured past her adolescence?”

“Watch what you say about my daughter,” I warned. “And I can’t believe you have the gall to stand there and act as if your actions didn’t contribute to her deterioration! You hold as much responsibility as anyone here!”

تان

“I did nothing wrong.” He shrugged his shoulders, planting his rear end on his couch. “Prattle and rant all you want, Nikolai. You can’t change my mind.”

“My Goddess, what happened to you?” Jonathan was never this callous. We were friends back in the day, and Lyra and Celeste. He was stoic and nonchalant, but he held a certain type of warmth. It wasn’t from power–it was from care. Celeste always brought out the best of him and could make him smile when days were bleak.

His mate made him feel complete. Times were turbulent when his brother reared his ugly head, but it never stopped our support for one another. But, when Celeste passed, he withdrew from all he worked hard to build and closed himself off. I’ve never heard from or about him until Kiya came into my life, battered and broken from years of abuse he permitted.

But it chills me to think there’s something else other than Neron that keeps him going.
