Luke

"Why are you here, Luke? You already left my agency. Or did Everleigh, your new woman, send you here to spy on me?" She asked with a slight scoff. 

The irritation in her voice gradually ignited the fury I had managed to conceal. 

I didn't know how much I hate it when someone refers to another woman, who wasn't Valerie as my woman until now, and I was really pissed. 

"I'm here to return your rewards to you." I gritted my teeth in annoyance as I spoke to her and she asked.

"What…did you mean?"

I chuckled emotionlessly at how confused she looked and I decided to make it easier for her to understand.

"You set up my mate and rounded her up to marry a total stranger for a reason best known to you and you think you can go scot-free?" The color on her face gradually diminished at the tone I used on her but I didn't care.
