Alpha Tate’s POV

Feeling smug, I grip my hair as I hurry down the main staircase.

It’s nice to know that I can make Kit desire me, to throw herself at me.

What isn’t nice, is her obstinance.

I can’t have that.

I have worked too hard to make this pack strong.

Unbeatable.

We don’t need another massacre like that one that took out my parents and so many other of my friends, family, and pack members.

Yanking open the door to the training center, Colin instantly tries to catch my eye, dodging a high kick, and jogging over to me.

Or even worse than that…weak.

“She’s on her way.”

Colin looks relieved as he follows me toward the front of the center while I scan the room, watching everyone’s progress
