<b>Chapter </b><b>274 </b>
I try to reason with the angry alpha<b>, </b>something that never seems to work out to my benefit.
He seems taken back by my attempt to point him towards what should be obvious. Unfortunately, he’s not that easily <b>appeared</b>.
*<b>Give </b>her to me<b>!</b><b>” </b>
He’s now very loud andmanding but I respond just as loudly.
<b>“</b>No!”
I’m standing my ground. I’m ready to leave my torturous world so why not go out with a bang.
“No?”
Alpha’s voice is incredulous as he struggles to get the word out of his mouth.
“Alpha Cole Redmen, you will give me my daughter.”
I wince at the sound of my full name as he growls it through his clenched teeth but I still refuse. I match every step he takes towards me with a step back, putting us further into what appears to be a huge living room.
“Cole!” He growls harshly again.
“No! I will not willingly give her to an alpha ready to beat her with a belt! Not again! Never again! I will fight you first!”
I’m struggling to sound brave. To sound so much stronger than what I am right now but I need to protect her. That’s the only thing I have left in this <b>dark </b>world, protecting those too little to protect themselves.
Something about him changes, his eyes seem to soften as he recovers from the shock of my statement.
“Fighting anyone right now would kill you, Cole.”
His voice is remarkably soft as I take another step back. He’s now standing, beside Madisyn’s fallen chair. Even his face is now softer even though his edge anger is still there.
“I know it would but I don’t care. Protecting the littles is all I have left in this cruel world. I failed to protect David and it won’t happen again. <b>You </b><b>will </b>ta your pound of flesh from me after I teach her about unnecessary risk taking.”
To my surprise and relief<b>, </b>I watch as alpha reaches down, picking the fallen chair up off the floor. He takes a seat, folding his hands in front of him.
“Okay Cole. Show me how you teach the littles.”
I remain frozen in ce. The shock of his eptance causing unbridled adrenaline to course through my veins reducing my pain and increasing <b>my </b>stren giving me the confidence I need to simte a much greater risk. One that if something went wrong, could significantly injure her.
Now that he’s seated and no longer handling his belt I feel safe to release her from my hold. I step away from her just enough to test the alpha. I watch! closely for any signs that he may change his mind.
Once I’m satisfied that he’s going to remain seated, I quickly start scanning the room. Up to the ceiling, down to the floor. Observing the location of <b>eve </b>piece of furniture that is nearby so I can select the best ce for what I want to do. This particr exercise <b>I </b>have found very useful for my pack’s <b>pups </b>teaching them about unnecessary risk taking but I still do everything I can to minimize the actual risk that I’m taking with them.
“What do you <b>see</b>?”
I stop my movements, it takes me a moment to realize that the voice asking the question is Madisyn.
<b>“</b>What do you mean?” Her question confuses me.

<b>Your </b>eyes inove very fast. Can <b>you </b><b>ree </b>like that<b>?</b>”
<b>“</b><b>Yes </b>ma’am I see everything.” “What <b>are </b>you doing?”
Her curiosity hase out now that the threat of her father taking his belt to her has passed, it’s oddly refreshing to came across a day on bald
“I’m nning. Calcting. Every move must be nned exactly. A mistake would be costly.”
