[KYLE POV]
Gretchen was getting to her feet again, a trickle of blood running down from the corner of her mouth that was absolutely nothing in comparison to the stream of blood flowing from her hair line. Gretchen had obviously hit her head hard when she collided with the pillar. And it looked like she was not very happy about it either.
"You're going to fucking pay for that."
I heard the words come out of the she-cat's mouth, and all I wanted to do was rip her head from her body. I wanted to step in and end this fight for my mate before it could go any further. I was seeing red now, pure anger and hatred for the woman that had so annoyed me for much of my life. I just wanted to end her at that moment. She was threatening my woman, my mate, and inadvertently my child. She just didn't know what type of deadly fire she was playing with right now.
