Alpha Kai POV God, this is so frustrating. The words on the papers are completely ineligible and it's all I can do to look at them blankly. In the two hours I've spent here, I've literally got no work done. Nada. All I can think about is Langdon's last report on Winter. Was she really not eating or doing anything? Or was he just trying to wind me up? I know that he doesn't care for the way I'm treating Winter, but as the Beta, he needs to obey my will, even if he doesn't want to. I ignore the guilt that's eating inside of me that tells me I shouldn't be treating a friend this way. Just go and talk to her. Stop being such a coward, my wolf growls in my head and I pointedly ignore him. He might have readily accepted Winter as our mate, but I'm still hesitant. Besides, she was doing fine,
