"You're pathetic," I snarled, feeling my wolf surge beneath my skin.
Selene flinched but quickly recovered, her hand tightening around her phone. "I'm pragmatic, Kaelen. Something you used to admire about me."
I stalked toward her, satisfaction coursing through me when she took an involuntary step back. "You think I got to where I am without safeguards?" I asked, my voice deceptively soft. "You think I don't have connections at every major media outlet in this territory?"
Her confidence wavered. "You're bluffing."
"Am I?" I echoed her earlier taunt. "Try releasing those photos. See how quickly they're buried. See how swiftly your credibility crumbles when I reveal you drugged a sitting Alpha."
"It would be your word against mine."
