The call ended abruptly, the silence afterward thick enough to suffocate me.
Simon's POV~
The moment the five Alphas left, I remained seated in my house, with blood dripping out of my mouth. My long nails were also dripping with blood, and I idly picked at my fangs with them, trying to dislodge the stubborn strands of meat wedged between.
I must admit, I was beyond furious....rage coursed through every fiber of my being but I forced myself to control it. I couldn't allow my temper to consume me, not when Zane was involved. Hurting him was the last thing I wanted, though the thought of the others made my hands itch with violence.
If I had truly wanted, I could have slaughtered the Alphas the very moment they stepped into my presence. Snapped their throats, spilled their blood across my floor, and watched the life drain from their arrogant eyes. The opportunity was there. The hunger was there. But the thought of Zane watching me like that… no. I couldn't do it.
