Chapter 106

Simon POV

Another day to get through. Marcus made the stupid decision to go and see Annette in his current state. He’s way too impulsive to be an effective Alpha, he took one look at Annette and said that he had to plunge us into the dark mess

we’re in.

He thought for himself and not the good of the pack as any sane ALha would do, but of course, that’s the keyword Sane, and Marcus most definitely was not. If a man were sane he would court a woman with pretty words and beautiful gifts not locking her up and trying to in her soulmate.

I could only imagine what the goddess thought of him for trying to break apart a match she’d built. She probably crafted Grayson just for him, she also probably had a horrible fate in store for me as well. I had too much of a hand in all of this. I was far too involved, my hands covered in the blood of Annette’s wolf, I was severing their bond with my silver acetate.

If she endured this for more than three months she’d probably be stripped of her wolf for the rest of her life. It worked the same way silver bullets did, wolves can’t stand the touch of silver so they shy away from it and when a werewolf is stuck with a bullet the wolf will step back from it leaving the werewolf vulnerable. More than one bullet into your average wolf would put them down for good.

He ruled his household with an iron fist and to a pack that valued muscle and might a son who worked better with pen and paper was disgraceful. He’d told me so every day, and for Ash, she looked too much

in the pack and making me his new Delta, It gave Ashley and me a good life and a bigger house. She now had respect and envy from her

or else he’d kill Ashley or worse. I did what I had to do I wouldn’t let my sister suffer anymore i hadn’t been able to protect her from our foul father but 1 would protect her from Marcus and to be honest I didn’t care if it came at Annette’s expense, sooner or later her

was left of my consciousness and went to work, seeing Ashley bound down our steps with a bright smile on her face
