ARIA POV *TRIGGER WARNING - MURDERER - GRAPHIC VIOLENCE* I’m a mom. She f*****g said ‘I’m a mom’. Chloe kept talking. Because apparently she had a death wish too. “I have pups. Two Alpha heirs. You can’t kill me. They need me.” I could not believe my own ears. For one second, I truly could not process the words. Then rage came up so fast it stole the air from my lungs. Hot and ugly. >BUbbling in my veins stronger than a freaking tornado. Kara slammed forward. Hard. I did not even realize I had taken a step until Alaric’s arms closed around my waist from behind, locking me against his chest before I could make a straight line for Chloe’s throat. “Kotionek.” His voice was in my ear, barely a whisper. But I felt everything in that word. Everything he wasn’t telling. Fear, Love
