JESSICA

Protection? You’ve got to be kidding me.

Grayson kept talking in front of us, but my gaze stayed locked on the slutty adviser glued to his side.

“If looks could kill…” Jack laughed under his breath. “You’d have buried her three times over by now.”

He’s not wrong. One glare and I could burn her where she stood. And maybe I would–if I didn’t have to keep my mouth shut for now. Seriously, what is wrong with her? Clawing at him like the whole pack is not watching.

“How long since she’s been his adviser?” I asked, eyes never leaving the woman.

Jack’s smile was lazy. “Jealous?”

As if.

Jack shrugged. “She moved into the inner circle two years ago, so yes, whatever you’re thinking, they probably have done it.”

Ouch.

My chest knots so tight I swear it might crack my ribs. Two years. My jaw ticks. Does it bother me? You bet. Every. Single. Second.

“So he fucked her.”

His grin widened, wolfish. “Most likely. You gonna ask him?”

I shot him a look sharp enough to skin. “What am I, twelve? I’m not asking him shit.”

Jack leaned closer, voice dipping, smug as hell. “Mm. Thought so. Big bad Jessica, glaring holes through his adviser but too scared to open that pretty mouth.”

“I’m not scared.”

He hummed, dragging it out just to irritate me. “Alpha. Jessica has a question for you.”

My head snapped toward him so fast my neck cracked. “Jack”

He just grinned wider, fang–tipped and shameless. “Go on, little wolf. Tell him.”

“Nothing,” I snapped, my jaw aching. “He’s being a dick. As usual.”

“Jessica.”

Damn it.
