CHAPTER TWELVE: CALLING THE THREAT

 TESSA POV

My heart was racing frantically and it's not because of fear or anything close to that, it's because of my anger and the energy I have been using to hold my wolf back.

She's really ready for a fight but now isn't the time, we have bigger problems, I mean. The Lycan king is the most on our mind now, he made sure of it when he announced our wedding to the world. 

"You are shocked at how I got the estate contact? Or do you think you are now untouchable because you are his whore now!,"

She threw another allegation at me, it wasn't a question but a direct insult, Cecilia would have cursed out loud and throw tantrums but I would not do that

"You should learn to make your research properly before you jump in for the fight, I know you went through so much pain and suffering to get my apartment contact,"

"So I won't end this call right now or tell my man to punish you, I have been bored so I will indulge you, I didn't say anything when Trevour humiliated me because of you, throw me into his prison for a whole year and used you to insult my wolf and self esteem"

"Why will you think I will stoop so low now to scream and yell just like you are doing, that man is yours, you shouldn't try to put any blame on me," 

My voice sounded like a melody in my ears, sweetening my soul and wolf, I heard MY wolf whistling in my head, happy that we are handling the call in the very. Eat away.

I smiled when Sylvia inhaled deeply and smacked her head on a surface, her frustration very clear and loud. She must have been expecting me to scream and curse and now she's confused on what to say next.

"Listen girl, I'm not the reason for your frustration okay, I have my life to live now, I have a man who would shake the world to keep me with him, what's making you think I will leave all that for your own man?,"

Sylvia remained silent and didn't give any response to what I just said, it gave me time to reflect about what I had just spat out into the phone.

It made me a little happier to have someone to use in keeping people like my mate and his fiancé shut, even though I would never admit this fact to the Lycan king, he's been my protector and source of strength.

"I called to let you know that he's mine now okay!, so forget whatever plan you have on your mind, he sold you, he's gotten rid of you, take your family and disappear," 

Sylvia finally found her voice but it wasn't as firm as when she started talking earlier, before I mentioned my marriage with the well known and scary Lycan king.

"Listen Sylvia, I know something triggered this call, maybe your so called man is calling out my name in his sleep or he's screaming his head off at you!,"

"None of these is my problem, you should deal with your problems!, don't call me to put your frustration on me or I will take drastic measures"

"You visited me in that prison for months and taunted me, saying praises for yourself and called yourself the mighty man snatcher, I'm no longer in his life so what made you call me?"

The memory was floating back into my head and it was making my once calm stance become less calmer, my voice froze in my throat and came out sour. I never once believed I could sound so cold.

"You are the slut, not me. Trevor was my mate before you took him from me, I don't know what you buried in his head about me and I really don't care to know!"

The call was beginning to infuriate me and I wanted to end it when I heard Sylvia speak again, the one thing I didn't want to hear or remember.

"Have you heard the rumors about your so-called husband? Aren't you scared that the curse hovering at him will turn into a full grown demon and slit your throat?," she asked me with a smug voice.

"It's none of your business little miss slut! You should try to keep your man or better still tell me what's happening between you and your man, that made you pick up the phone to call me today!,"

Sylvia question scared me but I didn't have time to think about it now, I'm more than scared about what my future hold but like Cecilia said, I must stay positive and believe that my life is much better without Trevour.

"You should worry about getting married to your own man, why has he kept you hidden these past years, you should be his wife now!, why isn't he trying to put the ring on your finger, I'm getting married in few days darling,"

My strength and voice coming back at the thought that I have won the conversation, it's the truth that I'm getting married, she doesn't know that it's against my wish so it would make her more livid

She would cry and beg Alpha Trevour to marry her as well, she has always been jealous of me even when I was in that dark and smelly dungeon, she would make sure to visit me and tell me her life with my mate

"Tell your man to get married already, he should stop trying to make my family bring me back? That ship has long sailed, I'm no longer interested in him,"

I had mixed feelings when I said that because the mate bond hurt a little, my wolf still doesn't know how to feel about rejecting our mate totally. Although he neglected and rejected us first. 

"So you don't want your mate or love him anymore, is that what you are telling me now? I can relax knowing that?" I was beyond perplexed when Sylvia asked me that question. 

Hanging on every word like her life depended on it and maybe it does because Cecilia told me how my mate had been trying to get me back in his life. If it's true it means Sylvia now feels threatened about my existence. 

"What do you want me to say to that Sylvia? Would you believe any of my responses? Would you be able to get my mate to love you if I say what you want to hear? Common!" I yelled at her.

It wasn't me that got angry but my wolf, I know we shouldn't but the hurt wouldn't go Easily, to know that I wouldn't be in this mess if my mate didn't betray me like he did.

"Just stop looking for me and my family!, tell your man exactly that!," I screamed at her again and ended the call. I had more to say but it would only cause trouble for me. The Lycan king hears and sees everything, he just might be listening to me right now. He's a crazy man.

"A crazy sexy man, delicious too," my wolf corrected me, I blushed hard and long before realizing it. My wolf wasn't lying.
