Kimi stared into Kolton's furious eyes, feeling a chill run down her spine. The rage burning in his gaze made her stomach twist with regret. How had she ever allowed herself to develop feelings for someone so volatile?
Her past infatuation with him now felt like a betrayal of her own judgment. Every stolen glance, every flutter of her heart when he was near - it all seemed foolish now. She was disgusted with herself for ever believing there could be something gentle beneath his harsh exterior.
The thought of Kolton becoming the head Alpha filled her with dread. Their pack would suffer under his leadership. His quick temper and cruel streak would destroy everything their community had built.
Kolton's attention snapped back to the cowering boy who was trying to edge toward the exit. His hand shot out, fingers wrapping around the back of the boy's neck like a vice. The boy's face went white as Kolton prepared to slam his head against the nearest table.
"Please don't!"
