Chapter thirty-three

Alec's POV:

I hold Riley's hand tightly, drawing circles on it with my thumb. She was doing a great job at telling her family how she has been feeling lately. The fact that she felt like a nuisance to her family, like she wasn't appreciated makes my lycan want to go on a rampage, he wanted to take control but I force him to calm down, he didn't care they were our mate's family. And I think the worst she felt was when she saw her mother having a good time with her sons' mates, because it made her feel as if she has been replaced.

Just remembering her words and her tears makes me clench my jaw in an attempt to stop the growl that so wanted to come out, fisting my hands, furious. How could they do that to her? How did they not realize they were hurting her? I wanted to lash out, but couldn't.

I guess you can say they are lucky that they are Riley's family.

No one hurt my mate, my princess, the love of my life.
