---- My stomach turned. He smirked. "1'll take care of you. No one will bully you. You'll spread your legs only for me." My hand flew across his face. Slap! His head snapped to the side, and for a moment, he didn't move. Then he turned back to me, his jaw tight. "You dare hit me?" he seethed. I glared at him. "Don't ever speak to me like that again." Alpha David's eyes darkened. "You really have no self-worth, do you?" His grip on my wrist tightened. "Married, yet sleeping with someone else. Is that how low you've sunk?" I struggled, but he was stronger. His hand moved to my waist, pressing me harder against the wall. ---- "Alpha David, stop!" I pushed against his chest. He didn't listen. His face inched closer. Panic surged through me. "Alpha David, stop!" Suddenly, a deep, guttural snarl ripped through the air. Ahand yanked him away. "Enough." Alpha David stumbled back, breathing hard. I looked up and saw the butler standing between us, his expression dark with fury. But this time, his irises glowed a faint gold-he wasn't just a servant. He was a wolf too. A Beta. "You've overstayed your welcome," the butler said firmly. Alpha David wiped his mouth, his eyes flicking ---- back to me. "Becky-" Slap! Thit him again. Then again. Then once more, harder. Alpha David's cheek was red, his expression a mix of shock and rage. I spat at his feet. "I would rather die than be your mistress." His fists clenched. "You will regret this," he hissed. I stepped closer, my voice cold. "No, you will." Alpha David's eyes burned into mine, but I didn't waver.
