Chapter 55

“He’s finally cracked,” Grayson declared to me.

The wolf he’d been starving for weeks has finally cracked. Grayson had kept him alive but starved, healthy but ravenous, he finally broke after weeks of a meal just out reach.

I walked down to the cells with him. I would stay out sight but I wanted to listen, I wanted to know. If he was willing to talk and tell us how we could keep this life of ours together.

“Talk,” my mates voice was chilling as it echoed in the cell.

1 hugged the stone wall and turned my head to hear everything clearly.

“You,” the prisoners voice was so weak and strained. “You are truly smart I’ll give you that,”

“Talk.” Grayson repeated.

“He wants you to grieve. He loved his brother, you killed him now he wants you to be broken,” The man gave us a small shred of words.

“I’m well aware,” my mate was monotone bored that he was not getting anything new.

“But the son. The son wants more. He wants. Wants everything you’ve built, wants it all for himself,” the famished idiot gave it up.

“Even if you kill the alpha the son is. He’s. H–is gonna be the problem. No doubt he’s the smart here…” his voice falling over itself. D

“…that’s what I know,”

“Feed the man,” Grayson ordered. “Get him fluids. Get him well,”

The son was the brains, the father was the fury. Grayson would run with information. If this son was greedy he was foolish, and if the father was angry he was distracted.

I knew it was awful but this news did comfort me. They had shortcomings we could take advantage of, and with my heat soon coming (wanted the leg up on these men.

He turned the corner, grabbing my hand and walking briskly ahead.

“Grayson?” His hurried pace towards the direction of his office.

No response, he was stone faced moving ahead through the people. I couldn’t feel what was rumbling around inside of hun why he was so sure to get to his office.

He got me behind the door locking it and picking my up by my waist.

“Graysont” I gasped as he set me down on his desk hissing me as he cupped my face.

“G–Gray, Grayson.” I tried to talk to him but he pressed himself against me, k*ssing me deeper and deeper into this

sudden distraction.

“He can’t have this,” he whispered to me in between his l*ps on my skin.

“He wants all I have but this.” he looked down at me, flushed and needy, all due to him. “My woman here,” he pulled me by my legs against him. “All for me in pure bliss. This he will never have,” he grinned.

I let him enjoy his relief as he consumed me. His hands were so rough and touched me so delicately.

By the end we had found ourselves laughing on the floor exposed to the world.

“Weak men try to steal, stupid men take revenge against those in the right. We will survive this,” He told me rubbing

his thumb on my cheek.

“You know you may not feel as euphoric as this if you’d talk to me about your worries,”

“But I don’t want to worry you. You should have no worries, you’re about to bring our babe into this world. You need a clear head.” He grinned.

“Oh my!” I laughed. “For such a brooding man you certainly will be putty if we have a daughter,”

“I have no idea what you could mean,” he k*ssed me.
