“Listen carefully,” I growled, my voice low and dangerous. “I don’t know what stupid games is it you’re playing or whatever the hell you think you’re doing, it ends now. I allowed you to get away disrupting my wedding and I won’t let you get away with anything this time. Stay away from Alpha Cyrus, or you’ll have me to deal with".
Nadia’s eyes widened in genuine fear, her hands scrabbling at my iron grip. She opened her mouth to speak, but no words came out. Suddenly, her eyes filled with tears, but at this point, I was past caring. I just wanted to take my pound of flesh for everything she has made me go through.
Suddenly, a powerful force slammed into me, tearing me away from Nadia. I found myself flying through the air, only to crash hard against the opposite wall of the hallway. The impact knocked the breath from my lungs and I slumped to the floor, momentarily dazed.
As my vision cleared, I looked up to see Cyrus standing protectively in front of Nadia, his pupils were still dark, to show he had used his Alpha power. The sight of him defending the other woman sent a fresh wave of rage through me.
