"Maybe Gideon defending her is a good thing. It'll teach you to fix that attitude of yours." I turned and walked away. Since I could not rely on my mate or my brother, I would claim the Alpha Female position myself.

Time. It’s the only thing every person has – regardless of gender, age, race, and social status. We all have the time.
