Winter POV I'd heard rumors and gossip going around the pack house that Kai ended up torturing Candice for what she'd done to me. I don't know how to feel about it. On one hand, the b***h had tried to attack me, but on the other hand, she had also been Kai's girlfriend. Wouldn't it have hurt him to have done something so cruel and mean to her, even if she claimed to have never loved her? She deserves it, Winter. No one can attack an Alpha's mate and expect to get away from the consequences. Not even an ex-girlfriend. He's showing the pack there are consequences for touching you. It was to be expected and she knew it as well. I know, but sometimes I feel detached from Kai, or maybe really detached. I know we're still trying this mates thing but it feels so awkward and stiff. I know alm
