I met her gaze steadily. “In broad daylight in a public place? What exactly do you think you can do p>
Lisa’s smile didn’t reach her eyes.
“That’s right. You’re not afraid of me anymore, are you? Four years in Silver Fang, and suddenly you think you’re untouchable p>

It’s on you, too. You raised him to believe he was entitled to take whatev he wanted. You taught him that Omegas were beneath him, just objects for his amusement. You made him the monster he became p>
