chapter 20

JESSICA'S POV

He sure as hell had the nerve to get on my bad side. I could not believe that Lambert had actually cast me aside over the little wimp of a girl and stayed back there. At a point when the driver had pulled out into the road, I gave up yelling at Lambert to let me back as I glared at the driver.

"Why didn't you alert me of his coming?" I demanded angrily.

"I swear my lady, I was about to. The Alpha showed up from nowhere and I had to tremble. I panicked but was about to call you when he smashed my phone. You can see it in the cabinet area." He said to me,

I did not care about seeing the phone as I already knew that was definitely something Lambert could do. But then, I was beginning to feel like there was something he was not telling me about this Miranda of a girl. I needed to think carefully. Although he had not shown any signs mentioned to me, I had my suspicions against something.

The driver got us home and I stormed through and went straight to his private office as I began to go through the shelves behind. I had to find something and then I caught sight of the thick covered book that was decorated with feathers. I brought it down as I glanced through its pages. There was a lot on the topic of bonding which I needed to read through. I was being careful about what I was doing and then, I found the area I was searching for.

Weirdly, there were similarities as expected to the entire situation between Lambert and Miranda but then, I wanted to see ahead of all that. I needed to make certain that everything written in these texts were the same as with the two of them. I browsed through rather carefully as I gave all my time and energy to studying it. Eventually, I realized that there was no way I would be able to find out all I wanted from a brief scanning. Hence, I took out my phone and took a picture of the rest of the things which I needed to watch out for. I was going to carefully carry out everything in the book and see if there were any signs that Lambert was actually mated to Miranda and he had yet to discover or he was keeping it away from me.

Whichever the outcome, only time would tell us.

I returned to our bedroom as I started brooding over and over again. Then I decided that I would best make him pay when he returns as I went into the bathroom for a good shower using the scents that I had gotten at some time last month to seduce him. There was a thing with Lambert and a woman who had a beautiful unique scent to her and I was going to remain that woman until I had carried out successfully, mission successfully in this pack.

I finished bathing and started checking out the wardrobe where I had my side to and browsed through my night wear segment for something extravagantly sexy. The goal was to tempt him until he grovels and still leave him hanging. I had eventually finished what I was doing after my bath and was beginning to wonder why he was not yet back. The time for shopping which he had paid for had elapsed and they still were not back. Anger rejuvenated the strength in me as I found my way downstairs in a bid to cause chaos to the kitchen attendants. Everyone was going to feel my wrath, one way or another.

"What are you chattering about like mean squirrels?" I demanded from two maids that were standing around in the path.

They had been so engrossed with their gossip that they had not heard me approach.

"I'm really sorry, my lady. We were just..." One began and I cut in quickly and angrily.

"I do not care what you were just doing. Simply scream and go do something meaningful with yourself or I'll assist you." I said angrily to her.

"Yes." She said and the other was already nudging her so they would leave.

"Yes, what?" I demanded angrily the minute I noticed what she had just said.

"Yes, my lady." She said and bowed.

"That's more like it." I said as I turned to leave.

"She keeps carrying herself like she's queen when we already have Luna." Her companion said to me,

"What was that you said to me?" I asked her angrily.

"Nothing." She said but I heard her clearly.

I was already walking to them as anger drew more adrenaline from my system. I was not smiling as I approached her. She was already shivering but I would not let this slide at all.

"Hannah." I said as I pulled off her name tag. "I might not be married to the Alpha but you should fear me more than you fear him. You're dismissed. If I ever see you walking around this premises after tonight, I shall rip off your head." I said angrily to her.

She cried out her pleas with the other one comforting her but I did not care as I moved around angrily. Everyone that had witnessed scampered out of my sight as I kept moving around gracefully. I did not care one bit about them as I continued on my way until I got bored. There was no one else left in my path to terrorize and that meant I would have to return to the enclaves of our bedroom.

I made my way back calmly and went to start applying lip gloss to my lips. I was just puckering it up in the mirror when I heard him return. I smiled and quickly went to sit on the bed with my legs stretched out before me. I made certain to look really seductive with the slit of my dress intentionally opened before me and the top riding really low as it covered a little above my nipples. I was in that position until Lambert came inside. I pretended to be fixed on my phone when in reality, I was only typing random numbers on my calculator. I did not welcome him because he would be the one to grovel before me this time and not the other way around. I continued with what I was doing until he spoke to me and did not pay attention until he raised what he had bought for me into view.

Only now did I turn to him with a smile. I took the parcel from him and from the expensive package, I could have sworn that it was probably a really beautiful dinner gown which could only mean that we would be going out tonight.

"You keep getting on my nerves and try to bribe me because I indulge you." I said to him,

"I'm sorry, sweetie." He said to me,

I raised my eyebrows suspicious of him in a loving way.

"Don't think I'll totally forgive you right now. This might just be the beginning of your apologies, Lambert." I said to him

"Of course. I'm aware. But would you at least try it out?" He asked me.

I patted the parcel and pretended like I was considering what he had been saying to me and shrugged my shoulders.

"I'm only doing this because I'm being merciful." I said to him as I climbed down from the bed. I could not wait to open it.
