Well, well, well

“Well, well, well,” Duke murmurs. His eyes light up like a kid in a candy store. “It looks like I figured out why you said things were complicated. Do you have a little mate waiting at home for you?” I bit my tongue and clenched my teeth. I know what this looked like and maybe he was a little too close to home. Duke pulls me close and looks me in the eye. “Have you run away?”

“Are you or are you not going to let me pass?” I bite out. I don’t care that a bit of my anger shows.

“Oh yes, I’m going to let you pass, your majesty.” He didn’t know how close he was to the truth with that statement. “I’m going to escort you to Alpha Shane. We’ll see what he has to say about you. Will we have a play toy after meeting with him?”

For once since I woke up today, I smile. I hate Shane and everything that he’s done to me but these guys are nasty for no reason. I look forward to seeing what he does to them when he sees how they’ve treated me.

“I guess you’ll have to wait and see.”
