Chapter 105
“Ma’am, a package came in for you,” Bella’s ser vant announced the moment she stepped in from the fundraiser.
She halted in her steps.
What package? She wondered.
The only package she was expecting was from Gabriel, he wouldn’t have sent it so soon.
Her eyes widened as realization dawned on her.
It was that package.
“Where is it?” she thundered, unable to believe Gabriel could be so careless as to send it directly to her house.
“With the kitchen staff, my lady,” came the reply.
“What?!” Bella tore through the hall, determined to reach the kitchen swiftly. The urgency in her steps reflected her anxiety.
The small box was resting on the kitchen counter, about to be pried open by a maid
In a swift motion, Bella rushed forward, her eyes fixated on the box. She grabbed it with an intensity that made the atmosphere tense.
“What are you doing?!” she thundered, her voice cutting through the kitchen. The startled woman attempting to open the package was taken aback.
“We received the package, and I was going to open it and get it ready for you,” she explained innocently.
“Back off. Don’t touch what isn’t yours,” Bella hissed, her possessive stance leaving no room for arguments. She clutched the package tightly and turned to leave, leaving the staff members exchanging surprised glances at each other unsure of what had just happened.
Clutching the tightly wrapped package to her chest, Bella made a beeline for her study. Luckily, the parcel was still sealed shut, and a sigh of relief escaped her.
Gabriel had pulled a stunt, sending it straight to her doorstep just to rile her up.

The thought of Gabriel sending it directly to her home seemed like a deliberate attempt to provoke her, and the last thing. she needed was household staff stumbling upon its contents.
Had those workers caught a glimpse, she’d surely be in for questioning. The contents of the box were considered toxic even for the strongest of werewolves.
If the workers had had laid eyes on it, they would surely have notified Ethan.
Gabriel was playing a dangerous game with her, she was seriously pis sed.
With cautious fingers, she peeled back the layers of the package, her hand gliding over the smooth white nylon. Just then, her second phone, exclusively reserved for dealings with Gabriel, buzzed annoyingly. She picked it up, irritation evident in her tone, “what were you thinking?”
“Received it?” he inquired ignoring her question.
“You sent this to my house?!” Bella’s voice reverberated with disbelief and frustration. She had anticipated Gabriel would choose a more discreet delivery method sending it to her office as an innocuous package labeled as clothing or food. However, he had taken a risky and dangerous route, seemingly for his own amusement.
Gabriel chuckled over the phone, thoroughly enjoying the chaos he had caused. “Well, you got it, didn’t you? And as a bonus, I might even keep quiet about it,” he teased.

Chapter 105
Bella’s patience waned. “Don’t be st upid,” she snapped, her tone cutting through the air like a blade. “You’d better stop messing with me,” she threatened, a clear warning in her voice.
30%
“Aren’t things going well as Mrs. Wild? That you would need more of that substance for Ethan?” he asked with a sly smirk.
“Or is your control sl*pping?” he inquired, a mocking tone dripping from his voice.
“Mind your business,” she snarled in response.
“Your control is indeed sl*pping,” he muttered, reveling in her evident frustration.
Bella bit her l*p in annoyance, acknowledging the truth in his words. One of the reasons she couldn’t completely sever ties with Gabriel or get rid of him totally was the need for a steady supply of that substance to administer to Ethan. It dulled his wolf’s senses, keeping him oblivious to the changes happening within him.
Although she had paused this using it for a while, recent events, like Ethan’s aggressive behavior, indicated a shift. It was becoming apparent that Ethan was changing rapidly into something else. Today’s incident was proof,he had grabbed her roughly and nearly assaulted her.
The drug was very difficult to find and given Ethan’s connection and her high-profile position. Obtaining it elsewhere proved practically impossible, leaving her dependent on Gabriel.
“Just don’t try such useless stunts like sending it to my home next time,” she snapped, frustration evident in her voice.
Gabriel chuckled, thoroughly relishing her discomfort. “How much do I owe you?” she asked, trying to move the conversation forward.
“Don’t bother, take it as an added bonus,” he stated, his voice taking a serious turn.
“I mean, I need you, and you desperately need that to continually be Mrs. Wild, so it’s a win-win,” he finished, a sly undertone in his voice.
“I don’t desperately need this,” she tried to deny, her defiance evident.
“A little quantity,” he warned sternly, cautioning her about the potential dangers of excessive usage. “A lot of that would be lethal even to an Alpha; it could kill his wolf completely,” he added, emphasizing the risks involved.
“I know,” she snapped, ending the call abruptly.
Her eyes glowing with a mixture of determination and mischief.
A little dose of this every day would do the trick.
