Rock closed his eyes, ready for the pain to take him out in an instant.
But there was no pain, and after that initial kick, Gale didn't do anything else.
Rock raised his head and stared at his Alpha with a questioning gaze.
Gale's chest heaved up and down as he was still suppressing his rage. It would be very easy to kill Rock, but he knew the repercussions.
He'd have to fight against Rock's entire pack who'd want to avenge his death, and although Gale could handle them just fine, it would take his time away from his mate.
It had only been two days since Swan came to his kingdom, and she was already talking about sacrifice. Now she even got attacked by his Beta.
"You are lucky that my mate is unharmed. You'd be the first to die if I see a scratch on her body," Gale said coldly. "I don't know what happened to you, and how you could lose your voice, but if you still have something else to tell me, then nod."
Rock nodded again.
