“The one willing to kidnap my daughter and hurt my family.” I startle at that, looking at Quinn. This is her father? Her father is the alpha of the pack? No wonder she cares so much. This is truly her family.

I keep my mouth shut, but my anger lessens. I don’t analyse why.

“Well, have nothing to say?” He looks at Quinn. “Has he spoken?”

“Alpha,” she begins, and he snarls.

She lowers her head, and something in me awakens at her bowing to him. I step closer, and when he turns back around, his eyes widen at seeing me so close. I keep his attention on me. Daughter or not, he might hurt her. I can’t let that happen for some reason.

Only I’m allowed to hurt her.

“Why don’t you ask me?” I offer instead, my voice level and calm.

“Like I would believe anything that came from your scum mouth,” the alpha retorts.

“Jang.” She touches his arm, and he softens as he looks at her. “Come on, let us talk.”

“I think I’d like to talk with him first. Meet me in my office,” he commands.

“Jang,” she begins, and he growls.

She drops her hand and head. “Yes, Alpha. I’m sorry.”

She shoots me a troubled, searching look before turning and leaving. I watch her go, and when I glance back, he’s observingme carefully. I don’t know what he sees, but he doesn’t like it. “Open the gate,” he roars, and the cell swings open immediately.

He steps in, taking up the whole space.

I step back, ready to fight when I realise I can’t. This is Quinn’s father, and whatever else I have, I won’t hurt her in that manner. I can’t seem to want to, even if, logically, I know harming the alpha might set me free.

Instead, I let his fist hit my face. I let him throw me into the wall. I let him beat me, and when he stands over me, his chest heaving and eyes bright with his wolf, I meet his gaze. “Don’t you ever look at my daughter. Do you understand me? She is all I have left. You will not take her too. I will be back, and when I return, I want answers, whatever it takes.”

He slams the bars and storms off, leaving me bleeding and confused.

I hope Quinn will be okay. He’s a tornado of fury right now and no doubt heading to her.

CHAPTER THIRTY

Iworry the entire time I wait for Jang in his office. What did he see? What did he hear? Fuck, I even worry about Jai. Will he kill him? I don’t know why I care. I got what I needed. I owe him nothing. So why do I feel sick?

When Jang storms in, the door bangs against the wall with his fury. Waves of dominance hit me, almost knocking me over as I get to my feet. He rounds his desk and leans against it, his eyes bright with his wolf, and I spot the blood on his knuckles.

His and Jai’s.

My heart rebels at the pain that slices through me.

Traitor, I hiss at it.

“Jang,” I begin, needing to tell him what I know.

“You will not be in charge anymore,” he snaps.

I jerk in shock. Is this because I fell asleep? Did he see Jai touch me?

Does he think I’ve betrayed them?

“Father,” I start.

“No.” He slams his fists, making me jump. “This is final,” he warns. “This is a command from your alpha. Do not even go near those cells. We will make him talk.”
