MADDOX's POV
My knuckles cracked in the cool night air as my brothers and I escorted Gideon through the main courtyard.
Rhys flanked his left, his hand resting on the hilt of his blade while Cassian trailed closely behind, his towering figure almost swallowing the older Alpha whole.
"Step foot on our territory again and you won't leave with your tongue intact.'' I rumbled under my breath, my voice dropping into an icy chill.
Gideon came to a sudden halt near the perimeter gates. He crossed his hands over his chest, turning his head slowly to stare at the three of us.
He stared at us for a long agonizing moment, then he laughed.
He fucking laughed.
''What the fuck is funny?'' My voice was ragged and annoyed as I bit back the urge to throw him a punch to the face.
He laughed harder, a condescending laughter that bubbled up from his chest, his eyes crinkling with dark amusement as if me and my brothers were nothing more than a pathetic joke.
