Chapter 42

“If you had called Edward first, you would have known that the subpoena was of no use to him in New York. A Mate…an Alpha Mate was almost shot to death because you led that scum right to Alpha Bellaire’s residence.” Henri sneered.

“What? How can there be six stray bullets?” The chandelier shook at the volume of Henri’s voice.

Richard cast Julio a black look but kept silent.
