Sain chuckled "Yes, well Alpha, once you have athere is not a whole lot you can do to sway them"

Vasile frowned at the man’s words He did not like to think that Alina would not listen to his council Surely, she would know that he would always have her best interest at heart As they reached a slightly larger cottage, he noticed the road that ran alongside it wound back around to Alina’s house It took every bit of his will power not to just keep walking until he was there with her, holding her, s beneath the doorframe as he often had to do For a ination had become because he swore he could smell her, as if she were here in the house with him

They ushered hiht of the kitchen that led to a bedrooht of that, he saw another door As he sat down a young ed from the door closest to the kitchen

"Alpha, this is hei took a step towards hier man had to look up just a little to look at his face Vasile was six foot four inches tall, so he guessed Serghei to be around six foot even He took a step even closer so that the boy’s hand was nearly touching his stohei flinch He would have loosened his grip, had he cared that he was hurting him

"Would you please explain to me why you reek of hei tried to take a step back but Vasile’s grip was too tight for him to move

"I uh, I do not knoho your mate is, Alpha," he sputtered as he tried not to look Vasile in the eyes

Vasile closed his eyes and tilted his head in the direction of the roohei had just exited He did not even have to breathe deep to catch it He pushed the boy into Ion’s hold "Do not let go of hie by the arms

"Vasile," Sain spoke up "If you please, tell "

Vasile ignored the e rooas lantern pierced the darkness The further he walked into the roo directly next to the bed, it overwhelmed him He reached down and tossed the pillow out of the way and a low, deadly growl ru that was obviously ht the other male’s scent mixed with Alina’s, he nearly lost it The carefully controlled rage that he kept under tight reign pulled and pushed at the constraints Vasile did not allow hiry He did not have that luxury He knew that if he were to release his wrath, many, many people would die The wolves who knew him had learned very quickly that the quieter he became, the more deadly his fury would be

Once he was sure that he would not kill everyone in the other room, he allowed hi had followed the area and kitchen were full All eyes were on hiasp was collective frorowls They knew the pup was not ings in his possession, let alone his bed

The only one not growling was Theris, Sain’s wife She walked right past Vasile and into her son’s space Her eyes were narrowed and her jaas clenched so tightly it was a wonder she did not break her teeth

"What have you done?" she growled as only a fe skin her words slapped theI swear, I did not t-t-touch her," he pleaded, first looking at his iven hiain, I will force your phase and skin you"

Serghei paled and sed hard "I kissed her That is all"

Vasile stepped back and leaned against the wall behind hiht of Alina in the pup’s ars, was nearly too led not to shove it down the youngI found ht to hi There was a part of hihei’s bed He knew that she had not compromised her virtue, but the jealous beast in him did not care It wanted blood

"Vasile" Her voice cut through the thick silence, penetrating the haze of fury that had begun to consuin the open door The group had parted ht path for her She did not rowled Noas not the tihei started but Vasile’s power rushed through the roo everyone to their knees

"You are not allowed to speak, especially not to her" He did not have to look at theHis eyes were still on Alina, as the only one still on her feet He could tell the force of his authority eighing on her, but she was his equal and therefore the only one ould never have to kneel before him

He waited, waited to see if she would come to him, waited to see if she would defend the male as a lover, and waited to see if she would rip his heart from his chest

She took a step towards him, and then another, and another until he could feel her breath on the skin of his arainst his chest Her eyes did not waver as she kept her shoulders pulled back wearing the confidence of a fee Her hand reached up and she laid it softly on his arm as her eyes iive her what she wanted He wanted to sweep her off of her feet and get her as far from the room full of males as he could Instead he shook his head "Explain this to ave it to hiive to his sister She had asked to borrow it"

"Where was his sister at the tihei…"
