That isn’t necessary.Megan tilted her head at me.
I fought a smile as I turned myself at Nix, who was still foaming at the mouth.She took all of our rage so that we could play this correctly. But she was struggling.I pointed to Nix, and Megan paused.It’s necessary because of her.
Megan nodded.Proceed.
I nearly laughed as I made it the rest of the way up the stairs, pausing at the double door I knew to be the Alpha’s office. I pulled back some of my anger and shifted my eyes and teeth. Then I pounded on the door.
I heard a sigh from within. “Come in Amy.”
I pushed the door open, and I dove for the man in front of the desk. Brandon had to catch me as my claws nearly took off his face. “What the fuck?” Derek fell back off his chair as I snarled again.
“I demand a Cath Báis.” I screamed as I swung again. But Brandon pulled me back.
“Is she fucking serious?” Derek stood and dusted off his shirt. He looked from me to Vince, and he laughed. Actually fucking laughed. I watched Vince palm his face as I lunged again. Brandon had to fight against my strength, and I was barely fighting to get to Derek.
He is a weak male.Nix snarled and then she pushed forward enough to speak to the men.
“This Beta pup is dumber than I originally thought.” She turned to him, eyes burning bright gold. “Do you even know what a Cath Báis is?”
He snarled weakly at me. “Did you call me a pup?” He stepped closer, and I smiled. Vince paled as he stood and grabbed for Derek. “I’ll fucking kill you.”
I laughed. “Good.” I snarled as I pulled harder. “Show me what you can do, pup.”
Derek screamed and tried to lunge, but Vince held him back. He released his weak power as he screamed at me. “I am the future Beta of this pack. You are just another whore that Brandon is using. Shut your fucking mouth and drop to your knees.” I felt his command in his words. Brandon snarled, and Vince slapped Derek across the face.
But his words stopped me from fighting. Brandon stepped around me with sweat pouring down his face. “Amy?”
My eyes snapped to his. “Does he do this to other females?” My words were ice.
Brandon swallowed, but played dumb. “Does he do what?”
I screamed into his face. “Does he fucking use his pathetic excuse of a command to make females lie down for him?”
The world seemed to slow down. Vince closed his eyes and clenched his hands, but Brandon went into full panic mode. “Amy I swear I don’t know.” He cupped my face. “Please look at me.” I growled and flashed my eyes again. “Look at me.”
I snapped my eyes to his. “Do you do this too?” The disgust in my voice was thick.
Good.Megan nodded.Make him panic. Make them both panic, they will give you what you want.
I want to kill them.Nix snorted, but I was too far gone to laugh.
I know.Megan’s voice was calming.But we need him to accept the rejection.
I can command him to do it. He’s weak.But Megan shook her head.
A command won’t work. If it did, an Alpha could command any wolf to reject their Goddess given mate. And the Goddess wouldn’t allow that to happen. Wolves have to reject their mates from their own free will.Megan rubbed against the barrier as she spoke.
I wanted to rip them to shreds. Dead men don’t matter.My words were soft but rage filled.
Nix laid down.That they do not.
Calm yourselves, sisters. We can kill them once, we are sure.Megan paced.Allow him to think his touch is calming you. Allow Vince to think that Brandon has a little control. Then get what we need, for Lynn.
I snapped back to Brandon when he leaned into my personal space. His lips kissed my forehead, and I shuddered. I didn’t mean to do it, but I saw Vince perk up. He thought it was interest, when it was actual revulsion.
“No. Goddess, no.” Brandon’s lips were soft as he pressed them against me again. I closed my eyes against his scent. In my last life, him being like this would have elated me. He had once been everything I had ever wanted out of my life. But then he killed our pup and this effort, this love he was trying to make me feel, it was nothing more than ash.
I pulled away, looking lost. “Tell me he doesn’t force females to be his toys.”
