The Female Alpha's Human Mate
The words pile, layered and sharp, the air thick with judgment.
Then—clatter.
Nyra slams her spoon against the table. Silence snaps into the room like a whip.
"He is MY mate!" Her voice cuts deep, final. "I am heir to this pack. Soon Alpha. I demand respect."
Her eyes flick to me, sharp and burning. "Respect him. One more word against him, and I’ll see you in the dungeon. Clear?"
"Clear?!"
"Yes, Alpha," they chorus, heads bowed.
Knox stands abruptly, grasping Nyra’s hand, trying to turn her toward him.
