MIRO

I used to hold Olive Verena in high esteem.

Even when he looked down on me, I expected such of his character but demanding a forced arrangement with Ryn because she has no family to fight for her? That's just low.

"Something can definitely be arranged." My father said with a glee that threw me off. I turned to look at him in disbelief and disgust and when he caught my stare, he glared at me, daring me to say otherwise. Should I say something? Especially since I am trying to maintain a cover with his inner circle.

"I'll fight you." Theon suddenly said, grabbing all of our attention. "When I win, you spill everything."

Olive scoffed. "When you win? You sound awfully confident that you would win this time."

Theon made a 'duh' look. "That's because I will. I expect nothing less."

Olive leaned back in his seat, rubbing his chin as he watched my brother. "So you're really going to come out of retirement for that girl?" He asked. "Who is she to you?"

"None of your business."

Is she your whore? Breeder? Mate? Oh, I forgot. You can't have a mate. Not since the last one betrayed you." He smiled but Theon simply watched him with an unbothered expression. "Are you going to fight me or not?"

"I will." Olive answered. "And when I win, I will take her with me and make her

my whore."

Theon ground his jaw, which made the vein on the side of his temple pulse. "Deal." He accepted before gulping down his glass of champagne before asking for a refill.

The tension dominating the table relatively cooled off but remained nonetheless, simmering in the background.

"I thought since you're with Miss Moore now, you'd be more obliged to get rid of the girl." My father stated, glaring at

Theon.

Theon took his time cutting through a piece of chicken before førking a piece into his mouth. "Just because I am... tied down doesn't mean I have lost my morals. No matter how much I'm supposed to hate her, she's still my responsibility." "You could easily get that responsibility off you by letting her go

"So you can win our bet? Just like that?" Theon countered with a hint of a smile. "Come on now, Papa. Don't tell me you're tired of a little opposition."

My father's face hardened but he didn't reply.

"I think Miss. Ashmore should be informed of her involvement in this." Mr. Cresswell said. "She's a were-being, is she not? She has rights."

Aunt Lydia sent him a glare.

"Leave that to me, Robert." My father replied. "I'm sure with the way she's leached on to my sons, she wouldn't mind an Alpha Prince who actually desires her. Right, Olive?" 18:11 Mon, Nov 250
