"You have something to say?" I ask Silas when he places a file in front of me.

"Nah, man. I think her Majesty said what we were all thinking, he turns away to leave.

You cou

You know I'm right," You could I have gotten her something smaller, man," he turns back to me angrily, I didn't expect him of all people to actually like this girl. "You could have asked her to take the marks," "Oh, yeah. I'm going to ask my mate to take the Lycan s***e marks," I growl. That's the thing. Jo. She's not your***g mate," he growls back. "She's not. Evangeline is f***g dead or are you forgetting the mess we're in because of her? This girl is our last hope and she's f*g ***perfect for the job. No attachments. She asked you to kill her when this was over. You are free to be with one of our own after. You will be king.

Why you gotta do her like that? You know there's something wrong with her. Can you imagine half the s**t she's been through happening to Annie? She's only six years older than her, man. You gotta stop and think about this s***. She's not like It's already done,

"She is not waking up the same, Jo. We both know that. We are not her friends anymore. We're her f****g masters. You gotta find a way to make this right, Jonas, I ain't never seen a wolf go into hibernation before and I've been around a lot of them for longer than you have. You gotta sort your head. Perry is not your mate. She is not your potential mate. She is a means to an end. What the ***k is wrong with you?" "It's this bond." I sit back. "It's never been like this before. Not even with Eve,"

"What the f***k does that mean? Evangeline was your fated,"

"I can hear her in my head. I feel her all over me. Our connection is strong as ***k. I needed a break from it. She was suffocating me. I can feel how much she loves him, Sigh. How much she misses him day in and day out. You'd think this man died a week ago. I think I miss him,"

"That's what a mate is," he sighs. "Why do you care if she loves him that much?" Tm jealous," I admit and it tastes like bile in my mouth. "of him?" "No" I

"I stand up going to the balcony for fresh air. "She never loved me, Silas. Eve never loved anyone in her f***g life or maybe I never loved her. Do you want to know how I know that? Because I'm not f***g suffocating like this girl. If that is what it's supposed to be like, why the f****k am I even fighting James for if it wasn't even a tiny fraction of that?"

I turn around to face him to see him staring back at me with disbelief. My mother is Standing just a few feet away from him dressed to go to work
