Without saying a word, I try to escape, but Ragnar bolts and blocks my exit. even doing here?
“What are you doing?” I demand.
You accepted my father’s apology quite easily.”
“He actually apologized. I don’t know what the hell it is you were doing, but it wasn’t apologizing”
“Why didn’t the compulsion work on you? You’re a wolf. It should have,” he sneers.
“How the hell should I know? If you’re going to be asking me stupid questions, at least do it while I finish building my desk.” I push past him and head back up the stairs. My anger doesn’t sto him from following me.
“You didn’t mean that,” he says once I’ve started zip–tying the cables so I can plug them in.
“What?”
“The whole thing about killing them. You just can’t stand to be in world he isn’t in, can you?”

“What does that matter? I look back at him. It doesn’t change the fact that I am right.”
“You love that asshole that much? You know I still have the video of him choking you out in front of everyone at that pool party, right? He doesn’t give a fuck about you”
“Why are you here?” I ask him. “To make me feel worse? Are you so unsatisfied with your life that you need to come here to tell me things I’ve already told myself? What do you think you’re going to accomplish here other than me cutting you our of my life?
“You couldn’t even if you wanted to,” he huffs.
“What the fuck do you want?” I snap. It catches him off guard for moment, but he’s on his feet as soon as he recovers.
“I want you to hate them as much as I do,” he grabs my arm. “We both know your precious Alpha King is going to find a way to protect them. That is what you dogs do, regardless of the mess you have created.”
“Let go of me,” I try to pull my arm out of his grip.
“You should hate him most of all. He has single–handedly destroyed you and everything you believe in. Help me help you”
“What are you talking about?” I pull again, and this time he releases me. I stumble back, bumping my hip on the edge of my desk. I groan as pain shoots up my side, but I can’t look away from him
Tve been watching you,” he says as if it weren’t a big deal. “Theres no way in hell you missed all the signs. You’re just like her, he taps on one of my grandmother’s pictures, “You stay qu, keep your head down, but you have all the information.
“If he hadn’t shaken you, you would have destroyed them with files you turned over to the Alpha King You knew exactly how to hit them, and you clickened out. I want that information Sophia. I won’t hesitate to end them. We can help one another out here.
“And if I refuse?” I ask. He rotates his head in circular motion, popping his neck loudly, before he looks back at me.
“Do you want to refuse?” he smirks, stepping closer. I back away hands and squeezes my checks. “I’ve known you your entire life peace; you’re like the rest of us. Chaos. I know you want to level

“It’s why you want to join my military,” he says, looking down aty puckered lips. “I don’t like gentle Sophia: She belonged to him. The Sophus Ewant is the mean girl who would stop at ning to get even. I know she’s still in there You’ve kept her in a cage long enough. Come out and play with me again, Sophi We used to have so much fun when we were kids.”
I pull out of his grip and place my hand on his chest. He drops arms and takes a step back, I must admit that he makes a compelling point. I did chicken out. It wasn’t because of what Santiago said to me. It was because I realized I needed to put

I look back at him to see he’s completely serious. I can see the way he’s pleading with his eyes. This is affecting him the same way it did me when I saw those rogues tear my family apart whil I could do nothing to stop them. I sit in my gaming chair trying to calm myself.
“What you’re asking is not an easy task,” I shake my head. “You’re right. The Alpha King is going to protect them because of how things settled into peace afterwards. If we try to go after the now, they’re prepared.
“You insinuated that we were fucking when we were at the packhouse by having me sit on your lap. That was a massive mistake on your behalf. He knows we’re not, but there are cameras everywhere in that house. No matter the proof, I’d still be the jilted omega who was rejected like countless others, manipulating you with sex.”
I’m not that easily sueded,” he scoffs.
“It doesn’t matter. They hold the narrative. You gave them that,” roll my eyes.
“So, what do you suggest we do?” he asks angrily.
“Nothing.” I shrug. He growls. “For now. Let them think we’re going to let it go. I need to recover, and you need to calm the hell down. You’re not thinking straight. I’m barely holding myself together.”
“You’re defending him.”
“Why do you keep saying that?” I shout. I don’t mean to, but I’m on my feet, and the chair behind me goes flying Tam in love with him. So, fucking what? He was my mate, and up until lie married that psycho, I didn’t fucking know that he was capable of doing this to me.
“You are no one to look down on me for this. You have no right come here and shove more shit in my face, Ragnar. I don’t even know what the hell you’re doing.”
He crosses the room in a single stride. His hand is around my throat in an instant, and before I can even cry out for help, his mouth is on mine. For a moment, I freeze, unsure of what the hell is happening. That same electric sensation from before returns, and I give in to the kiss. I hear some things fall when he fits me onto the table.
There’s an insane amount of desperation on both our parts. Hans are everywhere, and my so–called rationality is long forgotten. A knock on the door makes us both pull away from one another. I scramble to get off the table. When I look up near the window, I see that I am a mess in the reflection. I try to x my clothes and smooth my hair. I turn around when he opens the door.
“What?” he demands.
Lady Helvig has ordered lunch for the two of you. My King. Would you like to be served here?”
In the garden,” I answer before he does.
“Very well, the person leaves.
