Chapter Five

“Alfred?”

Alfred heard Marsdon calling out to

him just as he reached the kitchen door, but

he was in no mood to heed his alpha. He

wasn’t capable of listening to anyone and

even if he tried, he knew they would just lie

to him, try to make him believe things that

weren’t true and—

“Alfred!” There was an added snap to

Marsdon’s voice that time.

Every lupine instinct Alfred possessed

yelled that he should listen to the leader of

his pack, but he pushed all that aside.

Marsdon was the one who’d ordered Caden

to…

Alfred growled beneath his breath.

Marsdon had made the wolf he loved into a

155/246

whore, and he deserved no hint of respect

from anyone.

A rough hand landed on Alfred’s

shoulder and span him around as he reached

the centre of the kitchen. The larger wolf

tightened his hold on him when he tried to

squirm away. There was no escape. Jerking

his head back, Alfred glared up at Marsdon.

“What?”

“Why didn’t you stop when I called

you?”

“What the hell made you think I

would?” Alfred shot back.

“Alfred…” The word was a clear warn-

ing. The growl in Marsdon’s voice wasn’t the

least bit playful or paternal.

“Since when are you surprised I don’t

listen to a word you say?” Alfred threw at

him.

The image of Caden on his knees before

him, and the way that beautiful picture was

tainted by the knowledge that Caden hadn’t

156/246

really wanted to be there, that he was just

whoring himself out on an alpha’s orders,

made it impossible for him to hold back

anything.

He pushed at the alpha’s hands, strug-

gling to get away from him, but Marsdon

merely shoved him back against the kitchen

cabinets and held him there as if he had a

right to do that, as if his rank gave him the

right to do whatever the hell he wanted with

any wolf in his pack, no matter who got hurt

in the process.

Writhing against the hard edge of the

cabinet, Alfred kicked out, shoving against

Marsdon’s body with all his might, and

achieving no movement whatsoever.

That just made Alfred angrier than

ever. Helplessness rushed through him,

whipping up the storm inside him into

something stronger than he’d ever felt in his

life. The fight to get Marsdon’s hands off his 157/246

shoulders morphed into a fight for survival

inside his head.

Lupine claws crept out of his fingers.

Marsdon’s shirt tore. There was no way his

actions could be anything other than a chal-

lenge, but Alfred was past caring.

The alpha’s hands suddenly moved to

his wrists in a sickening mockery of the way

he’d taken hold of Caden, back when some

stupid part of him had actually believed the

other gamma could enjoy being held that

way. The alpha’s fingers wrapped tightly

around Alfred’s skin and span him around so

his back was to Marsdon’s chest.

He was trapped then, his hands useless,

his struggles futile.

“If you have any intention of remaining

a member of this pack, you’d best learn to

control that temper. There’s only so much

any alpha will accept.”

158/246

“Maybe I don’t want to be part of your

bloody pack,” Alfred screamed. “Maybe I

don’t want to be part of any pack!”

Not if that was the price Caden had to

pay for him to be accepted, not if—

“Alfred?”

Marsdon spun them both around to

face the softly spoken word.

Caden and Gunnar stood in the door-

way leading in from the courtyard.
