The hatred had filled my heart and my gaze froze over as I stared at Mindy's crouched form. Her auburn hair was slightly knotted and she sported an angry bruise around her neck from when I almost strangled her to death.

To the typical man, Mindy would have been considered extremely beautiful. I couldn't see it at all and all I did see was the envy that clouded the good character I had once seen in her. She wasn't the pack member I knew—the wool had been pulled off my eyes and I hated myself for not listening to Kara.

There would have been no way they would have fought if I knew Mindy had it in her to do something so...so cruel.

Stepping forward into the light that dimly flickered from the overhanging lightbulb, I folded my arms across my chest and regarded her with a chilling voice. "You request an audience with me like I have anything to say to you. I'm trying so hard not to rip you to pieces."

She gulped audibly and crawled to the bars. Her knees were bleeding and she looked like hell. "You wouldn't do that, Alpha—Tristan."

I squeezed my fist shut and tried to hold back the growl that rumbled in my throat. "Don't tempt me, Mindy. The thought of painting this room red with your blood is an enticing idea." I snarled at her and took another step forward. "If you address me incorrectly again, it'll be the last thing you ever say."

She bit her tongue and the fear filled her green eyes. "A-Alpha. You couldn't be that cruel."

I crouched down so I was eye-level with her and she visibly shivered under my gaze. The dominance that rolled off my body was powerful and her confidence suffocated under it. "You don't know how cruel I can be." It was a menacing whisper and I tilted my head to the side. "I know no such thing as mercy when someone tries to take something from me. You tried to kill the one person who means everything to me."

She slowly backed herself up against the wall. "She's not dead, is she?"

"Why?" I narrowed my eyes. "Do you want to know if you did a good job?" She didn't say anything and I carried on in anger. "You're a pathetic excuse for a woman, Mindy. I had high hopes for you but you fooled yourself into thinking I could love anyone but my mate."

She shook her head vehemently. "It was possible before you met her. I look like a Luna. I would be amazing by your side."

The image made me feel physically sick. "Don't you get it?" a disgusted expression crossed my face. "I'm repulsed by you. The only thing I think you would be amazing at is dead."
