Dumped Omega? Now Their Alpha King Begs at My Feet novel Chapter 13

Kai's POV

Dr. Albright, desperate to get back in control, to reassert the rules of his sterile, logical world, turned to me. His voice was pleading, a whine that grated on my nerves.

"Alpha, this is insanity! We can't just let some stranger perform a procedure! We don't know who she is!"

"According to hospital protocol—" he started to bluster, grabbing onto the rules like a drowning man grabbing a piece of driftwood.

I cut him off with a single, sharp wave of my hand. The gesture was small, almost casual, but it carried the full weight of my Alpha command.

He fell instantly silent, his mouth snapping shut with an audible click. The pressure in the room became immense, suffocating, as my aura flooded the space with cold, silent fury.

I pushed off the wall and walked forward, my heavy boots making deliberate sounds on the linoleum. I stopped directly in front of Valerie.

She was smaller than me, dwarfed by my size, but she didn't flinch. She met my intense gaze without wavering, her eyes a startlingly clear, calm gray.

For the first time, I wasn't seeing a girl in worn-out clothes. I was seeing a force of nature, an ancient power staring back at me through young eyes. There was no fear in them. None at all.

I made my decision. It wasn't logical. It was primal.

"You will be her hands if she asks for them," I continued, my voice dropping to a low, predatory growl that was pure wolf.

"And if he dies," I added, stepping closer to him so that only he could hear the final promise. "I will not hold her responsible. I will hold *you* responsible. And I will tear your pack apart, starting with your family."

I hadn't just given her permission.

I had given her absolute authority, backed by a death sentence for the man who stood in her way. The power in the room had shifted completely.

It now belonged to her.
