Christine's eyes widened in terror. She squeezed them shut as the whispered word escaped her lips.
"Never."
Kirk's fingers dug deeper into her throat. His brown eyes blazed with fury.
"How much longer will you keep lying to her?" Christine remained silent, tears streaming down her face.
"Do you have any idea what this will do to her when she discovers her own mother has been deceiving her for years?"
"Alpha!"
Dynasty sprinted toward Kirk when he saw his leader's rage spiraling beyond control. He grabbed Kirk's arm, speaking in urgent undertones.
"Please, Alpha. You need to calm down."
Kirk's jaw worked furiously before he finally released Christine. She instantly clutched her throat, gasping for air.
Kirk jabbed his finger toward her, his voice deadly quiet. "You turned me and my entire pack into her enemies."
Christine's tears fell freely as she stared at the ground, unable to meet his burning gaze. "I had no choice, Alpha. Please understand."
