Chapter 47 Mick POV "I can find the way out myself, Mickey-poo," Boyd said, using the degrading nickname he knew I hated. We got to the final door, the one that leads to the side lot where we parked the car. I held the door open for him, like I was playing nice. He scoffed loudly, pushing past me like the bitch he is. "Hey Boyd," I let the door swing closed behind me, pacing casually next to Boyd on the sidewalk. "Yeah?" he said gruffly, looking at me from the corner of his eye. I chose then to swing for his face, uppercutting him and knocking the hat off his head. He snarled, stumbling back before taking a fighting stance. He then came barreling towards me. I turned easily out of his path, then came down hard on his back with my elbow, making him fall to the ground. While he was down, I kicked him in the gut hard enough so he rolled over on his back. I then bent over him, grabbing him by the collar of his shirt. His mouth was bleeding and dripping from the corners of his lips. He was still winded from the kick to his stomach, gasping for breath. "If you ever, EVER, call Chloe a slut or any other fucking name again, I'll kill you. I've put up with enough of your shit because I thought you might really have her best interest at heart, but if you can flip the switch and get that disrespect that easily towards her, it just shows how shallow your feelings really were." "Fuck you," he snarled, spitting blood in my face. Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the FɪndNøvel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. I growled deep in my chest, something I've been doing more and more all day. I swiped a hand down my face, cleaning off his spit, then headbutted him swiftly, knocking him out instantly. I've had enough of him for one day. "Mick!" Beau came sprinting outside. "What the hell, man?" I lifted my shirt over my head since it had a blood spot on it, wiping the last of his bloody spit off me with it before tossing it to Beau. "Deal with his ass for me. I might actually kill him if he opens his mouth around me again." "Take care of him how? He looks like he is already dead." Jamie came out next, taking in the scene, and then dipping down to check Boyd's pulse. I rolled my eyes, knowing Boyd was fine. I didn't hit him that hard. He was just a wimp. Even without a wolf, he couldn't have the same fighting experience as me. My father was brutal with his training towards me because I didn't have a wolf. I can hold my own. "He's alive," Jamie said, like he was surprised. "Of course he's alive. The asshole needs to refrain from calling Chloe names or he won't be." I looked at the door, then back at Beau and Jamie in confusion. "Where is Chloe?" Beau and Jamie exchanged a look. My blood ran cold seeing that look on their faces, the hesitation and guilt. "Mick! What did you do, man? Knocking bitches out day one of being back, huh?" Billy was the next one out of the building. I pushed past him to head back inside, knowing now that Chloe must have been left all alone with my brother. "Hey!" Billy called after me. When I burst through the conference room door, a menacing growl left me again, seeing my mate being hugged intimately by my brother. I leaped towards him, tearing him away from her and tackling him to the ground.
