Her back was exposed to me and a low growl escaped through my chest. After seeing that she—wolf in the bathtub, facing the wall, my wolf wanted to rip her heart out for doing this. She wasn’t my wife. Matilda had a big mole on her back.
“Who the f*ck are you and how dare you come into my room?” | turned my face, not looking at her.
“Alpha Prescott,” Isabel turned to face me. The tears rolled down her cheeks in fear. “I didn’t know that it was your room. I’m so sorry.”
“Don't fool me. You left that note for me,” | said icily. “Don’t you dare lie to me, Isabel. I'll have you thrown out of my pack and killed in the most painful way.”
“I'm not lying, Alpha Prescott, aah,” she screamed in pain before collapsing on the floor.

| followed her and pulled her in my arms from behind. Placing my chin on her shoulder, | murmured, “Trust me, nothing happened. She fainted in fear because of my
anger.”

“You're my baby,” | cupped her cheeks again and watched her fair skin turning red in my hands.
“Vincent sent his man with the news of Liam. He is staying with the rogues and has marked the rogue,’ Caleb sent me the message via mind-link.
