Done
Shane
Years, that how long I’ve known about her whereabouts, and for years I’ve stayed as far away as possible. I’ve demolished packs, killed kings, and fucked scores of women. The wheels were in motion and up to a couple of months ago, everything had been going according to plan. I’d taken measures to ensure I never had to see her in this lifetime and yet here I was, not only in the same fucking town where she lived and breathed, but in the same building where she worked.
Knowing she was only feet away, had Max waging an internal battle over who got to be in control tonight. With the way he’s acted recently and assurance of where his thoughts leaned all of my mental guards were up. I wouldn’t lower them until I was on the other side of this damned continent and this town was nothing but a spec behind me.
Stopping in this town was not apart of the plan and I’d specifically told Mave we would not be coming here. Thanks to her uncanny ability to pick up on my emotions, she refused to skip this town. Her psychotic tendencies are why we were here. If not for my failure to lie to her, this town wouldn’t have even been a blip on her radar. Vehemently rejecting the idea of claiming this small piece of land caused suspicion to arise. The only way to appease her was to agree to come here and kill their pathetic alpha, which I did. Why we were still here was lost on me.
How can we claim to rule over all of the East coast if we don’t also conquer this small little pack?
Her interests were peaked and nothing but agreeing would appease her. There was only one more kingdom I needed to destroy and now that I had the numbers, I knew I would not only obliterate the pathetic pack out of existence, I would also torture him slowly before I killed him. My beast snarled and chomped at the bits within me. Knowing how close she was drove the two of us feral and put me on edge. I was uncomfortable in my own skin, the need to shed this form made it harder to control myself. I told myself I would see her and be done with her. The itch would be scratched and we would leave from here as soon as Mave did whatever the hell it was she was doing.
I butchered the surrounding packs alpha and offered his luna immunity. The one condition being all she had to do was rip her children’s hearts out and present it to me as an offering. It was a test, one I gave to every Luna. Her answer would decide her fate. When she moved to protect them, I granted her and her children their freedom. They were welcome to stay and would be taken care of. Unlike the days of old, my men were forbidden from raping and plundering.
After putting one of my men in charge, I was then to leave, but that’s not what happened. Max had taken over and I was thrust into the backseat of my own mind. He found her working at a drive thru coffee shop and watched her for weeks. Everything was okay and we were going to leave, but then Devin notified us of her departure early one morning. Max ordered him to follow her to see where she was going. When he found out she was whoring herself out, his grip on his control started to weaken.
His plans were to come here and claim her so she knew who she belonged to. It was on our way here, that his grip on his control slipped, but that’s all it took. He rattled the bars of the cage I’d locked him in. I would not claim Adealine and I would not show her who she belonged to. She made her choice, the same choice, over and over again and I would not be a fool for her.
Never again.
Never again would I be her pin cushion, her play toy, or the trash so beneath her she couldn’t so much as love me. I would never put her needs before my own, never again would I put her before myself. Never again would Adealine hurt me. Never again would I stand aside and watch her choose him.
The sound of her heels as she made her way down the hall reached our ears. I hated that I was here as much as I hated breathing in this goddess forsaken world. I had one mission in life and it didn’t include her. As soon as I accomplished what I sought out to do, I would gladly leave this world. My heart thundered in my ears and threatened to explode as she came to a stop in front of the door. She didn’t deserve my attention, my devotion or my love.
Two pairs of eyes locked on me, but I growled as I cracked my neck. I yanked my head toward Devin and the side piece he pretended he took under his wing. Having him work by his side gave him easy access to whenever he needed him. I only put up with it because I wanted my brother to have anything and everything he wanted. Even if his little boyfriend used to work for him. Odis had more than proved his loyalty.
He’s been by my side since I was a pup. In this life, the last, and the first. I would never forsake him. He didn’t understand what I was doing here, but he never second guessed me. That much hasn’t changed. He nodded and they both headed toward the door.
The doors opened and I leaned back and listened as they talked outside. When they forbid the manager from coming in, I smiled. The door closed and my breathing quickened and my body tensed. My cock hardened against my permission. I hated that all it took was the thought of seeing her for my body to betray me. I clenched my fists and grit my teeth.
After tonight, I would be done with Adealine Biscoff.
