The Pack: Rule Number 1 - No Mates

Chapter One Hundred–Fifty

FELIX

A rush of blood pounds between my ears as this woman’s words replay h my head.

“My name is Angela Riotre, mul I was

hoping to find my husband.”

Oh my God. Why is she here? What does she want? Where is RAINIER!

“Your husband?” I question, keeping close to door as I watch her and inwardly kicking myself for pretending not to know exactly who she

“Yes,” she replies. “Sheriff Rainier Rlotte,” she says slyly, as if she believes she’s dropping the bomb on me.

I don’t know how it is I’m able to smile as cattily as I do, but I manage. As you can see. he’s not here

Her eyes narrow and she spins slowly, surveying the room before her eyes catch on the discarded navy blue shirt I dropped on the couch. Her shoulder tense and I ready myself, thinking that she’s going to reach for it and knowing for that I won’t let her take it from me. The odd sense of possession that comes over me in that moment is startling. She is his wife. He fucking married her. I know all this, but for some reason there’s still a current of crazy suddenly flowing through my wins that is screaming at her for trying to claim him

She

doesn’t pick it up. Instead, she turns to face me, walking around the couch to come up on my other side. She’s pretty, but not gorgeous… and Rainier… is better than gorgeous. Not that it should matter what she looks like in comparison to me, but I’d be lying i said that it didn’t. Right at this moment, I’m sending the good lord a quick prayer of thanks for the tits and ass that he blessed me. He may not have given me good parents or an easy life, but he took his sweet time in crafting this bitch and that’s a fact. I may not have the ring yet, but I won this round.

Yet Felix? Seriously?

“Yes, I can see that he’s not here. That much is obvious. But you do know him, don’t you?” she says quietly, her voice edged with malice.

I flatten my gaze into one of boredom and simply stare back into her eggs. Not wanting to lie, but not wanting to give her any more than

she’s already gotten by coming here.

She nods, taking my pointed silence as a yes to her question. Shaking her head arrogantly, she eyes me, a sinister smile playing along her lips. “You have no idea what you’re getting into. No idea what kind of monster you’ve just welcomed between your legs.”

“Excuse me?” I snap. “You don’t know a damn thing about me. If you did you’d know that I quite like having a monster between my legs. In fact, I prefer it. I guess I should be grateful that the woman didn’t come here crying alligator tears and toting a box of tissues. Because if she had, I would most likely be in Hector’s car right now racing down the highway. But it’s obvious that this woman came here for some reason other than appealing to my softer side. She didn’t come here to try and make me feel sorry for her. Or to plead her case as his loving wife. She came here to check out the competition and to try and scare me away.

The only reason Bart was okay with leaving it unlocked is because of the new camera system the guys had installed. That, and we were supposed to be here right after sundown.
