Dumped Omega? Now Their Alpha King Begs at My Feet novel Chapter 38

Kai's POV

My body moved on its own. Pure, blind, unrestrained fury.

I don't remember grabbing my keys. I don't remember leaving the study.

One second I was standing in my office, the next I was a storm tearing through the halls of my own headquarters. My Alpha Guard, the most elite warriors in my pack, were scrambling just to keep up.

They knew the look in my eyes. It was the look I got right before I burned something to the ground.

My command to clear a path to the hospital wasn't a spoken order. I didn't have time for words.

It was a silent, furious roar that I blasted through the pack's mind-link. A wave of raw power and animal panic that sent a jolt of adrenaline through every warrior on duty.

The drive was a blur. A high-speed streak of red lights and the scream of tires on asphalt.

The city flew past my windows, a smear of concrete and light that meant nothing to me. I didn't see any of it.

My mind was a raging inferno.

Isabella. That smiling, perfect, venomous bitch. I could see her face, hear her syrupy voice offering the "gift."

My doctors. Useless. A whole team of overpaid idiots who couldn't tell the difference between a remedy and a death sentence.

And me. I was the worst of them all.

Arrogant. Blind. So sure of my own power that I couldn't see the snake coiled right at my feet.

My pride had done this. My pride was killing my grandfather. I had held the weapon in my own hands and then passed it along. The guilt was a physical weight, crushing the air from my lungs.

I reached out with my mind, a desperate, clawing thing. I pushed through the psychic barriers between our territories, a shocking breach of every protocol that existed.

It was the ultimate sign of disrespect between Alphas. I didn't care.

I searched for her. For that quiet, steady hum of immense power I remembered from her father's hall.

I found it.

My mental voice was not a command. It was stripped of all power, all authority.

It was the raw, desperate plea of a wolf about to lose everything that mattered. The arrogance was gone, burned away by terror, leaving only the aching, shameful truth.

"Valerie. I need you. Now. My grandfather. Please."
