A dozen wolves from the Black Blade pack spilled out of the cars.
Kyle narrowed his eyes as Jasper detached himself from the group and came forward.
“What the fuck do you want?” Kyle snarled.
“You have something that belongs to the Black Blade pack,” Jasper said. “You shouldn’t keep what doesn’t belong to you.”
“Something?” Kyle sneered. “What thing are you referring to?”
“You’ve stolen our best cook from us.”
“Oh really? Now you think she’s your best cook?” Kyle snorted. “I thought the pack hated her cooking. You accused her of sabotaging your food. The members of the pack find fault with her at every turn. I thought you’d be glad to be rid of her.”
Jasper clenched his fists and turned red in the face. “Don’t be so smug. Oh, you think you’re so smart, aren’t you? You think you’re better than me?”
“I know I am better than you,” Kyle said evenly.
Jasper shook with anger. “I can destroy you, Kyle! Just like that,” he spat.
Kyle laughed. He didn’t even have to fake the laughter. It really was the funniest thing he had ever heard.
“You’re welcome to try,” Kyle said, spreading out his arms.
But Jasper made no move. Kyle had just taunted him with a challenge, but he knew that Jasper wouldn’t have the balls to fight him one on one.
Kyle quirked a brow. “Why aren’t you locked up somewhere? Didn’t you shoot two of your men with your gun?” Kyle asked. “Oh right. I forgot. The Alpha’s son can do no wrong. You can get away with murder, literally.”
Jasper shook his finger at Kyle. “Hand her over. Hollie is the property of the Black Blade pack. We have a right to...”
“She wears my mark,” Kyle said simply. “A mate’s claim supersedes all other claims.”
“Members of the Black Blade pack find their mates within the pack,” Jasper hissed. “They remain in the pack even after they are mated.”
Kyle bared his teeth in a dangerous smile. “In that case, I will be happy to join the Black Blade pack.”
