I threw my head back and laughed at that. “You are dumber than I fucking thought.” I wiped the tear that fell. “Are you serious?”
Brandon’s face fell. “Yes. We made a commitment to each other. And I intend to keep it.”
I turned to him and let my face fall. “ You attacked me this moming. I’m not mating you. You broke the commitment to me as soon as you slept with Shannon . But then you decided it was okay to lay your hands on me.” I shook my head. “Did you think I was just going to forgive and forget?”
He snarled. “ You deserved to be put in your place.”
I tilted my head. “So because I held you accountable for the situation you created , you thought, because what? You are an alpha. It was okay for you to put your hands on me?” I smirked. “So, does that mean I can put my hands on you?”
”
He laughed. “ You are weaker than me. I put you in your place because you thought you were better than me. Obviously not.‘ 2
The thread that was holding my patience and my anger was fraying. But I laughed. “You attacked me at work, because someone else laughed. And you think because I didn’t fight back that you ‘put me in my place‘? But in reality, I didn’t find you worthy.”
He snarled again, but then Vince and some guards ran in. “Brandon, you need to leave.” Vince was panting. Like he just heard that Brandon was here. “ Leave Amy
alone.”
Brandon snarled at his father. “ No! You said she was leaving , but we are mating at the end of the week.”
I laughed. “No, No we are not. You lost the privilege to ever touch me again the moment you jumped over this desk this morning. ” I dropped my voice lower. “ No, unless you leave me be, I will challenge you in front of everyone here.”
I watched the threat wash right over him , but Vince paled. “Let’s go Brandon . She needs to go home to pack.”
I nodded and grabbed my bag from the ground and I groaned. I was tender. Nix. I called to my wolf. You can start to slowly heal me. I’ve appeared weak enough to all the right players.
Nix growled. Finally.
But. She froze, and I felt the anger pumping off of her . Start internally, and move slowly, like the wolfsbane was finally working itself out of our system. She shook herself, but then nodded.
I don’t see the point, but fine. Megan laughed. I think she understood my plan.
We will get you healed up. She winked and then got to work. The relief wasn’t instant , but I could feel the pain ease.
“SHE’S NOT LEAVING!” Brandon screamed, freezing everyone.
I felt my body still. “Who is going to stop me?” Everyone heard the threat in my voice …. everyone it
“If you want to leave, then you have to go through me first.” He smirked. His eyes danced that went earlier.”

seems , except Brandon.
my body, from my toes up to my head. “And we both know how well
Vince paled. “No.” But I felt the smile bloom on my face . I quickly glanced at the time. It was early enough that if I was quick, I would still have time to get home before people showed up. Vince stepped into the office and grabbed Brandon by the arm. “ No.” He shook his head as he looked at me . “ We are leaving. Forget he said anything. Brandon , let’s go.” Vince pulled him but Brandon was staring at me.
He shook off his father’s hand. “Did you hear me ? You aren’t going anywhere.”
I laughed. it was dark and low. “Fine.”
Vince started to sweat. The guards all looked at each other. But Brandon looked triumphant. “See . ” He looked at his father. “The mating ceremony will go on.”
“I didn’t say that.” I shook my head as I let my mask fall off and the rage show through. “You said that I wasn’t going anywhere unless I go through you.” I tilted my head as Vince started to shake his head. “I said fine . ” He smiled. “You really are that dumb.” His smile fell . “ I meant I will go through you . ” I smiled, big, toothy, and dangerous. “ I hope you are up for the challenge . ”
Vince stepped up. “You can’t kill him.” He was almost pleading.
“She can’t kill me . ” Brandon smiled. “She isn’t strong enough.” I watched Vince stagger back .
“I won’t kill him …although I have every right to call for a death battle.” Vince seemed to take a breath. “But I will invoke my right to a cath neart.”
The guards all stood straighter. Vincent winced, but Brandon just laughed. “Stop making stupid shit up.”
A guard stepped up. “I will second Alpha Amy.” I tilted my head.
“And who are you?”
I am Gamma Corzone. You met my wife Samantha when you volunteered in the pup’s classes . ” He looked at me with intense eyes.
