A few minutes earlier, Reid and Kael were outside with warriors from their pack and those from other packs, just chatting and drinking away when they felt their alpha’s rage through the pack link.It wasn't just them, but all of the Crimson Claw Pack warriors nearby felt it. They ran inside, knowing he had returned to the room to keep his mate company only to see his hand clamped around Alpha Collins’ daughter’s neck once again.Just what the f*ck was wrong with that girl that she didn't learn from what happened inside the ballroom? Although they didn't know the details of what happened, they knew Dant wouldn't do something without a reason. He was cruel, but his cruelty didn't come without reason.But they couldn't let him kill the girl either. “Alpha,” they called in unison and picked up their pace, running even.Dante didn't react, but they knew that he was listening.“Let her go, please,” Reid said, pleading and even mentioning Rhea, knowing that was the only way they would get

“You wanted to see me,” Dante said, his tone clipped and gaze clearly showing his displeasure. For a moment, Alpha Collins was at a loss for words. He had expected Dante to apologize for hurting his daughter, not once but twice, and to explain his reason for wanting to leave. But instead of all that, Dante was annoyed. “If you are leaving because of what happened earlier,” Alpha Collins took a deep breath and began, “it doesn't matter anymore, so you don't have to leave.” The more Alpha Collins spoke, the darker Dante’s expression became. He made it sound like he was doing Dante a favor instead. But it seems Alpha Collins wasn't picking up on the signals and continued,“It was wrong of me to decide to give my daughter to you without informing you. I apologize for that, and I will have Gemma apologize for causing you discomfort.”“I don't need your apology, Collins,” Dante said coldly. “I am not the one you should be apologizing to, but to my mate. The one you treated even less than

As soon as Dante moved away from the car, Rhea opened her eyes. The sense of security she had felt earlier was gone, replaced by a growing uneasiness. Her instincts roared to life. The fight outside quickly caught her attention. Her eyes darted left and right, fear overtaking all her senses. Her hands flew to her mouth to stop the involuntary shriek that nearly escaped her throat. Outside, she saw Dante move. His back muscles flexed as he took off his jacket and shirt as though they were bothering him. His hands clenched and unclenched as if they itched. He shifted as he strode toward a bleeding creature. Dante was huge, and unlike the other shifters around him who were on all fours after shifting, he stood on two feet. His frame was even larger than before his transformation. Thick black fur covered his massive body, and every step he took carried an overwhelming authority. For a few seconds, Rhea forgot about the danger around her. Her gaze remained fixed on him, as if everyth

The Crimson Claw packhouse was a huge mansion. From where Rhea stood and how far she could see, there were tall trees all around and gardens on either side. The people here smiled when they welcomed their alpha, and she didn't feel any negative energy from them, unlike at the Winter Pack.They looked at her, not with anger, annoyance, and hatred, but with pure curiosity. Especially the old lady who looked at her with eyes so bright that Rhea could see the sparks in them.“Who is this lovely young lady with you, Alpha?” The woman asked, her expression softening when their eyes met. Rhea's grip on Dante’s sleeve tightened, not from fear but because what she felt at that moment was foreign to her, and she didn't know how to react appropriately. Dante looked at her when he felt her grip. She poked out from his side like a little rabbit coming out of its hole for the first time. He smiled, his hand going behind her and circling her waist before gently tugging her forward to stand beside

At the Crimson Claw Pack, Stella sat inside the drawing room, her back to the door. Her eyes stared thoughtfully into the distance through the open window. A faint crease settled between her brows. When she heard footsteps approaching and the familiar scent of her Alpha draw near, she turned towards the door, rising to her feet. “She is sleeping,” Dante said before she could even voice her question, already able to read her thoughts.“That's good,” Stella breathed out, relief flooding her. She turned and returned to the couch.“You said something earlier about her fur,” Dante said.Stella paused briefly, and then she smiled and sank into the couch. “I did,” she said, and Dante’s eyes narrowed slightly. “It was snow white. That's rare.”“You didn't sound like it was just rare,” he pointed out, and she nodded. “Then…?”“Have you seen a white wolf anywhere in your many travels?” she asked, but his frown only deepened as he shook his head. Stella's smile was warm as she said, “that's be
