"I would never do as my father- " I snarled.
"You were never going to compel Rake, either, but I saw it in your head tonight."
"He breached his vow first!"
"No, Cazz. He didn't. God has given you hearts around you that are good. Can't you see that?"
"Good? He wants my mate!"
"He loves your mate- he said so himself. But can you blame him? No wolf can control the seeds that bloom in their heart, they can only control whether they feed them. And that male has honored you. I would bet my life on it- I am betting my life on it. I am telling you… either you stay here and let him bring her back, let the Gammas handle the process, or I will take your power out entirely. Even if it kills me."
I swallowed hard. She wasn't bluffing.
But I also had no other choice. Blowing out a heavy breath I held her gaze. "I give you my word."
"Your word for what?"
