Klaus’s POV
A very loud crash interrupted my heated conversation with Joseph. I turned around and saw a very shocked Ella staring at us. The loud crash was caused by the bottle of wine she must have dropped on the floor.
I get up and start walking towards her to make sure she is okay, when she suddenly flinches away into the corner and hides her face behind her shaking hands.
“I’m sorry alpha, please don’t hurt me. It slipped from my hands” she begged in a shaky voice.
Hurt her? Why the hell would I do that?
“Why would I hurt you for breaking a bottle of wine Ella? What kind of monster do you think I am?” I asked angrily.
She kept staring at me through her shaky fingers. It became clear to me, she was expecting to be hurt because such actions were taken by her old alpha. My blood boiled in rage. How many times has the bastard mistreated her like this?
