At that moment, Dominic hated his beta Hated her for seeing far more than he should. Hated her for making him see exactly how much he wanted that – which seriously scared the shit out of him. He hated his wolf too. Hated Drak for constantly fighting him over the idea of Natalie leaving, for being so unreasonably possessive of her. He also hated Talon for wanting Natalie, he hated the wolf she might one day mate with, and he hated her aunt for speaking the truth he'd been trying to ignore. Mostly, he hated his-fucking-self for caring about a female who didn't even care enough to mark him. "Why would I do that?"
