Chapter 33: The Swift One-Off Trade
[TAMIKO]
"What... What did he do this time?" Gabe forced out, even though he was scared on behalf of Tamiko. He knew that Igor wasn't the kind of man who forgave and with his reputation preceding him, Gabe felt like his mate wasn't going to get out of this one real easy.
"Ah, Gabriel Grealor, Alpha Ashton's son. I see I met the right people," Igor said with a sinister smile as he looked between Tamiko and Gabe.
He knew.
"Why do you have him? He is a member of our pack—" Judd asked and Igor just let out a sinister laugh before he looked at the skinny werewolf that was talking to him.
If Igor hadn't been busy trying to impress Tamiko or even make sure Tamiko was safe, he could have broken Judd into two pieces and none of them would have done shit to him.
"—Who lives alone in the dangerous woods, while everyone else is in good houses. It makes me wonder what the realm would do if they knew the truth, especially if they heard it from me?" Igor asked, not letting go of the hand that was entwined with Tamiko's.
It was almost like Igor was keeping Tamiko close to him because he wanted to make sure that Grealor was safe enough for him to go back to, but was that ever going to happen, given the history Tamiko had with this pack?
Surely it wouldn't take an insane warrior to convince them all to allow Tamiko to live in a normal house like the rest of them, no?
"Is that a threat?" Zakhar asked, while Gabe silently hoped that Tamiko would say a word to him.
He was too silent, and right now Gabe wondered if Igor had done something to his Tamiko. That would be dangerous, and the whole pack would have to come and step forward.
