chapter 22

Sage Almost instantly, Alphas grumble and walk toward the aisle, only for Mateo to block it. Yet my eyes dart to the women. The few men that get up to grab their mates are stopped. About twenty other Alphas nod to Kat. A couple even motion to their mates in a friendly gesture that they will wait outside for them. Four Alphas, however, try to remove their mates when Kat’s command rushes over them. “All Alphas leave. Mateo will deal with you.” She says. Mateo’s lips tug up, clearly liking that idea as he grabs one by the back of his shirt while the Alpha is trying to fight against the command. He hauls him out the door and silently closes it behind him. Everyone lets out a breath. “I understand some of you are afraid, so I won’t force any of you. Just hear what I am asking, that is all. You are free to leave if you want,” Kat tells them. They talk amongst themselves, and one woman gets up. She clearly is petrified and wants to leave, but the woman beside her jerks her back into her seat.
