Chapter 47 : The Quality of Mercy
“Do it, if you have the courage,” Haydon taunts my mates. “Kill me in front of her. You’d break her heart and you know it.”
My heart is already broken by his actions and words now.
“I should be running this pack,” he continues. “I’d be a much stronger leader.”
“We’ll just see what your Alpha thinks of that,” Kent shoots back.
“Right now, if I were you, I’d be more worried about Aurora.” Haydon looks sorrowful. “You claim to be her mates. You’ve moved her into your suite and been seen joined at the tail with her. Do you know what harming me is going to do to her?”
He’s still the man who raised me, unfortunately, and I can hear the tenderness in his voice as he says my name.
“Let him go.”
I have to force the words out and feel sick when he looks at me. I wish I could say I was surprised.
Wiley growls in disbelief–the wolf equivalent of “What the hell?”
Jordan and Kent look at me pleadingly. “Aurora, are you sure?” Kent asks, always the one to think through things.
