Chapter 23

After kissing Jara one more time and watching to make sure she made it inside the contestant housing, I turned and headed back to the main house. Just as I get there, Alpha Typhon steps out from the shadows.

“I bet you think you’re special, sneaking around with Alpha Jara.” He says, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

“Actually, Typhon, 1 do feel special. 1 wasn’t sneaking, Jara asked me to walk her home.”

I move to pass him. “You know you won’t catch her. She’s mine.” He says.

“Yeah, you planning to kill this Beta too in order to catch her?” I say, stepping up into his space. “I wonder. Does he know that you killed your last Beta to catch Mila? That your Beta was the one that should have claimed her. I wonder what he would think if he found out.”

He snarls at me, his claws coming out. “See, the difference between you and me, Typhon, is that I have nothing to hide. You, on the other hand, have secrets and a history of Alpha females dying while in your care. You don’t deserve her, and you won’t get her. Not if I have anything to say about it.”

“Well then, I’ll just have to make sure you’re taken out early.” He says.

“I’d be very careful about threatening another Alpha, Typhon.” Seth comes up to stand beside me. “I knew something had happened that made people look at you differently when you claimed my sister, but killing your own Beta? That’s low.”

“There aren’t any rules about injuring or killing other claimants. This is about determining who is the strongest and the most deserving of having a mate.” He points his thumb at his chest. “That’s me.”
