Blaine didn't move though. He only opened his arms as Alpha talked to him and welcomed the knife when it was thrown.

It hurt more than Blaine thought it would. He felt like the air was being knocked from him as it entered his body. His hands moved to where it was sticking from them.

He couldn't speak. He looked down at it and then back up at Alpha. He didn't seem angry or confused. There was just a silent acceptance in his face.
