Chapter 109
Stronger
Annette POV:
Something else had happened which made today a good day. The two guards pulled Simon aside at
the start of their shift and mumbled something to him. Around of hushed discussion followed as they
talked through what had happened and it ended with a very disappointed Simon sighing and saying:
âhe wonât be happy,â
I spent the rest of the day grinning. I had no idea what had gone down but it made the man with green
eyes angry. It must have also meant something had gone in Graysons favor and that was something
that made my heart smile.
I found myself thinking of him more and more everyday remembering his smile, his voice, his touch.
Trying to picture him at home working hard to find me. I felt that dark part of my head whisper to
itselfâ¦.
âyouâll never see him again.
But I couldnât think like that. I wouldnât think like that. I would be home to him soon and weâd kill the
bastard. together.
I sat in my cell thinking of him as hours passed my usual routine of bothing the guards and listening for
information. lulling at the moment. I had gotten into
a mild amount of trouble when one of the guards had enough of my pestering and tried to strangle me
through the bars.
He hadnât gotten a hold of my but Simon had to call a different guard in and was unhappy. So I went
without dinner and breakfast but it was worth it. I wanted them to see that not an inch of fight was gone
from me and that they would have to kill me to get me to stay here.
After a while the usual commotion behind the prison door occurred and I saw him come down the
steps. His face was scrunched tightly in annoyance and I grinned further.
âWell Iâm sure youâve heard the news,â he sighed as he entered the room. âYour exâhusband broke up
an alliance of mine apparently he had a little duel this week,â he sat down rolling his eyes. âItâs not that
big of a deal I mean I barely got any information out of him,â
He chuckled to himself. âYou know I donât have to give him credit though, ha! Figuring out that we had
allies nearby and nipping it in bud,â he hissed looking down at the floor in contemplation.
âOf course our new friend isnât that happy itâs quite horrendous to trip up in front of him,â he gritted his
teeth.
The other thing Iâd found in the past weeks was that they had a partner now. Someone was helping
them and whoever they were they seemed to be the one in control now. I saw Simon grinning after the
green eyed man made a comment about answering to someone.
âIs grayson like that always monitoring your mistakes always grilling you over them?â He looked up at
me.
âwhy was he asking about Grayson he never brought him up
I kept my mouth shut and stayed silent. I didnât want to say anything and give him any information on
the way Grayson worked. The less he knew the better, besides me not answering him would puss him
off and that was always
my misssion.
âYou can stay silent all you want I have pretty good idea of how your exâs mind works,â he shrugged
and stood up..
âSay nothing, do nothing thatâs all the better for me. I have my hands full at the moment but I do hope
you realize that you are going to be here for the rest of your life. You are going to be my wife, and you
are-â
âWhat the hell are you doing?!â A cold voice sounded in the room and I spun and almost kept up onto
my feet.
My mouth hung open. They looked similar, note similar than Iâm sure my husband liked.
âMy sons severed one of your allies and turned him into the Lycan Council and youâre down here
talking to the girl. You must be chronically stupid if you think behaving like that will actually beat
Grayson,â he spat.
I was shocked I had not expected this in my wildest dreams. To all my knowledge this man wanted
nothing to do with the wolf world or his son and here he stood on the side of our enemies I wanted to
launch myself at him. Tear off his face for turning against his family, I had no doubt he knew who I was
and that I had just had a ba-.
out of
I shut the image out of my head and reminded myself to think nothing of that. That I would be home
and I could think of that later.
âYouâre not supposed to be down here,â The man with green eyes growled and clenched his fists.
âWhy Marcus becuase Iâm not supposed to be seen by your girlfriend,â he sneered. âSheâs in a cell who
is she telling my son already knows Iâm involved. She doesnât matter!â He chided Marcus.
âit was good to know his name
I went and sat back on the bed softly looking between the two. Marcus was no longer in control at all,
this was for sure a battle between my husband and his father. Did he realize that he had reopened an
almost 15 year old wound on my husband. That wouldnât end well for him.
âGet upstairs and find another way to keep tabs on my son,â
âmy son, he kept saying my son. Thatâs very paternal for a man who took everything from his son and
pack, disappearing into the night
*You will not speak to me like that,â Marcus extended his claws and I rolled my
I rolled my eyes.
In two strides Deacon steps forward and struck Marcus across the face hard it echoed throughout the
cells.
I covered my mouth in shock and laughed out loud. I giggled at the little boy put in his place by a man.
* will have him shut you up!â He hissed at me.
âIf your master will let you,â
âYou-â
âLeave her! She has more backhone than you do she knows sheâs getting a rise out of you and she
isnât afraid of the
consequences,â Deacon didnât look over at me but stared Marcus down.
âGo upstairs,â he ordered and Marcus looked like he wanted to protest but went anyway. I watched him
tuck tail and walk up the stairs.
He slowly turned his gaze to me stepping forward. âI can see why my son has gone to war over you,
you are a pretty little thing. Know this I will not set you free and I intend to finish my son off before he
can do the same to me. If I get
my y son killed perhaps Iâll leave you here or perhaps Iâll let you go home. But Grayson will die,â he told
me with a a cold expression on his face.
I looked him in his eyes, he seemed to truly believe what he was saying. I didnât say a word but just
stared at him like he was a pitiful he squinted at me and thought better of saying anything else before
heading out the door.
âDead man walking.â I said to the room. The two guards looked over their shoulders at me.
He underestimated Grayson, that was something my husband would use to his advantage. He was
living on borrowed. time now.
