Chapter 52 White and Knight

Jack’s POV

“I asked,” I choked out, stubbornly meeting the King’s livid gaze one more time. “If you’re a fucking idiot, Your Highness!”

Pain exploded in my ribs as he kicked me, and I went crashing into a cinderblock in front of the car. Blood spluttered from my mouth and my back felt like it was crushed into a million pieces. Blackness took my vision, while air struggled to settle into my lungs…

“Stay out of this!” I heard him growl and from the corner of my eye, I saw that Ned had moved to help out. His eyes were shifting between mine and the king’s but I quickly shook my head, warning him to stay out of this.

“This is between me and your alpha,” Knight growled, his eyes flashing gold as his wolf was close to the surface. Ned was about to correct him when I sent him a quick mind link not to. I didn’t know why, but every instinct I had was warning me to let this man know as little as possible about us. About our pack. And most importantly, about Grace.
