Leo took a deep breath in and then out, as he watched Zoe stomp out of the pack. He felt slightly guilty for the sad state she was in. He knew he would have to do a lot of apologising to her later. But then, he still didn't regret what he had done. His first duty was to his pack and his Alpha, since he has not found his mate yet.
Speaking of mate, he took a short glance at his Alpha's neice. Honestly, he didn't know where the anger had stemmed from. When he had perceived that Zoe had wanted to slap her, he just knew that he wouldn't have been able to allow it.
He had felt hot and angry, thoroughly bothered. But he had told himself that he had been defending his friend's honour, nothing more, nothing less. Well, that's what he had chosen to believe to keep his sanity and head under water. The girl was already driving him a bit crazy with her beauty and wits.
