“Toby, calm down.” I gripped his arm tightly, using every bit of my strength to hold him back from my father. “Who the hell is this, and what is an intruder doing in my pack?” My father barked, showing no signs of fear; instead, he was glaring at my mate, looking at him with silted eyes, and if looks could burn, I was sure that Toby would have been reduced to ashes. “It is technically mine now,” I snapped, annoyed that he was still trying to control the pack even though he had handed the reins over to me. “And that is no way to talk to anyone.” “How did you think I would react seeing you in such a compromising position with a man? I understand you are desperate for attention, but that is never a reason to w***e yourself out, Maddie. You are an alpha now, and you should behave like one.”
