Chapter 19: I Cannot Refuse Her

Anselm's POV

I have been in a great many rooms where the air went bad.

I have sat through a hostile board vote and a dockworkers' strike.

I sat through the night the Port Commission tried to take Terminal 5 from my father's company.

I have never been afraid in any of them.

I was afraid in Cedar Hall.

I sat in the second tier with my hands on my knees and the weight of twenty Alphas on my back.

I watched the woman I loved stand alone on an open floor in a grey wool dress, with my daughter pressing at the front of her ribs.

Gunnar Bjorklund asked her to hurt me.

She did not look at me.

She had asked me not to, and I held to it.

"No," Marit said.

Her voice carried to the rafters.

It was low, and it did not shake.

"You've been telling people what I am, Mr. Bjorklund. I'll tell you what I won't do. I won't use anything I have on a man in front of an audience so another man can win a vote."

"You can't," Gunnar said gently. "Can you?"

A murmur ran along the tiers.

"She can't," someone whispered, loud enough to hear. "That's what it is. He's the one who obeys."
