Through The Eyes Of My Alpha

Chapter 33

RILEY.

I smelt her the moment she entered the basement. Lately, I’ve been able to scent her even from a distance, and now, despite the smell of antiseptic all around us, her scent was the most evident one that I could identify clearly.

And I didn’t know how I should feel that she would see this part of me.

I have nothing to hide. I’m an Alpha. I functioned as one. I might have my own faults and weaknesses, but I never condoned beating and assaulting my pack’s females. And regardless of who committed the crime, the punishment remained the same,

Manuel was one of our warriors. A trusted one. For some unknown reason, he consumed too much alcohol last night and went into a rage. And the victim was his mate. She was found unconscious this morning by Manuel’s sister, and words spread out immediately.

My Gamma found Manuel in the basement of their house, repentant for what he had done to his mate. But it wasn’t enough. He needed to learn his lesson not to touch her or any other female in this manner again.

And this was something my mate needed to understand.

There were still many things I didn’t know about Nadia, but I was sure she had a soft heart and I needed t o toughen her up, but not to the extent of losing her humanity, as I did for a period of time.

I coiled my fingers on the rod that holds the single tail whip. Its end was dipped in a small amount of silver, just enough to burn the skin on the first whip.I was getting ready to strike the first lash, but I couldn’t ignore her anymore. I wanted to see her, to understand the emotions she was sharing with me.

My head tilted in her direction, and our eyes met.

Her face was showing no emotions at all, but her eyes were telling me a lot of things – but it all boiled down to one thing: she didn’t like what she was seeing. She hated this part of me.

I dropped my gaze down and took in a deep breath, moving into position as my men turned Manuel’s body around. I tried to block off the sound of a wailing female, pained by her mate’s punishment.

‘Leave.’ I sent Nadia a mindlink, my eyes still locked on the grounds.

‘No, I want to see you.’ Her voice was cold.

“There will be blood. And you might not be able to take that.’

‘I can.”

“You might not like this part of me.’
