My head felt like I had been hit. It was spinning. My insides were churning, and I felt like I wanted to throw up. Yet I had to compose myself. I had Alpha Carter sitting watching me. And his intense gaze was enough to make even the toughest of men crumble. He had been at our family home. Looking for Mari. That, in itself, was bad enough. But to know my Dad had been there too? That was f*****g disastrous. I needed to know Mari was okay…
But, right now, I needed to act like everything was okay. I needed to escape this situation. ‘What is going on?’ Matty’s voice was bugging me through the mindlink. Pestering. Asking me yet again. ‘Why are you ignoring me? You are acting weird.’
That had to be his third time of asking since I had responded to the Alpha. I wish he would just leave me alon
