Chapter 23

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.”
