CHAPTER 162 Furious

  “You… you ignorant fucking—”

  “Get it all out, Natalie,” he said dryly, completely unaffected by my rage.

  I wanted to slap his face. Instead I dropped my hand that reminded me of my mother when she’d been about to spank me as a child and I just held his eyes, glaring.

  “You really think that’s what this is about? You think I’ve been avoiding you because you’ll be Beta?”

  “If the fang fits—”

  I almost hit him. Almost shoved him backwards into that island I was so furious.

  “I am the only one who stuck up for you, Mack! Rig put you right in the firing line of his psychopathic father, and I’m the only one who snapped my teeth about it! He’s setting you up to get killed and I’m the bad guy?”

  “It was my choice to be here,” he muttered. “I wanted to come. To be here with you.”

  That stopped me in my verbal tracks. I blinked, wondering what I must have cost him to admit that.
