Page 6 of My Bad Boy Alpha

A flame of fire licked the outskirts of the building, crawling underneath the door and igniting the wooden floorboards.Men and women screamed for mercy, the same ones who had been murmuring about Zuri earlier.

Eshe ran my way.“Alpha Stone, you have to?—”

I snapped my hand around her jaw and smirked at the pathetic woman.“Have to?”

“Get us out of here!”

“We’re going to burn here together.”

“You’re going to burn in here with us?”she cried.“You’ve gone mad!”

“Only those who’ve sinned burn,” I snarled, the heat crawling up my limbs.

“You murdered an alpha this morning, and you’re talking about sin?!”

“A deal with the devil goes a long way.”I smirked.“Burn in Tartarus, bitch.”

I tossed her into the fire.Flames engulfed the room, burning bodies, the roar of the fire louder than the screams of dying wolves.I hoped that nobody in this pack fucking survived.They all deserved to be shit on for the rest of eternity.

Once the building burned to a crisp, I stood in the ashes with the blood of Eshe all over my naked body.A woman sprinted up the walkway to the old, dried-up wooden building that would never be a place where packs could bully my mate again.

“My … my restaurant!”the woman cried, falling to her knees when she reached the pile of ashes that she had once calledwork.Tears streamed from her cheeks.“What have you done?!I just went out for some asparagus.”

My lips curled into a smirk.“What Zuri should’ve done years ago.”

“Y-you’re …” She opened and closed her mouth, as if choosing her next words carefully.

As if what she said would sway my mind.

“I’m what?”I asked, stepping closer to her.“Insane?Mad?Try again.”

“That’s not what I was going to … to say,” she said.“Please.”

“Please what?”

“Please don’t hurt me.”

Another step toward her.“And why would I do that?”

“I-I’m one of her friends,” she said, backing up with her hands in the air.“I promise.I?—”

I snatched her by the throat, completely engulfed by blind rage, and lifted her into the air.“Sophia Lamb, the owner of this restaurant and the manager of the employees.If you were her friend, you would’ve terminated Zuri’s sister immediately.”

How fake could someone be?

All these people, feeding my mate bullshit and forcing her to believe things about herself that weren’t even close to being true.Once I was done cleaning up this mess, her ex-pack was next because a toxic work environment shouldneverbe tolerated by an alpha.

I didn’t give a fuck what pack she belonged to.I would kill her alpha myself.

“I know,” she said, bowing.“She will be fired.”

“She was here, serving tables, when I returned!”I growled through my canines.“She’s already been fired because she’s dead.Because of me.And any attempt to rebuild your little restaurant will cease to exist because of me too.”

“No!”she screamed at the top of her lungs.“Don’t do it!Please!I have a?—”

Locking one hand to the top of her head and the other to her jaw, I ripped her head from her body and snarled as the headless corpse fell to the ground with a thud.I would do anything for my mate.

Anything.
