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: “he won’t be happy,”

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 itself….

“you’ll never see him again.

But I couldn’t think like that. I wouldn’t think like that. I would be home to him soon and we’d 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 hadn’t 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.

“Well I’m sure you’ve heard the news,” he sighed as he entered the room. “Your ex–husband broke up an alliance of mine apparently he had a little duel this week,” he sat down rolling his eyes. “It’s not that big of a deal I mean I barely got any information out of him,”

He chuckled to himself. “You know I don’t have to give him credit though, ha! Figuring out that we had allies nearby and nipping it in bud,” he hissed looking down at the floor in contemplation.

“Of course our new friend isn’t that happy it’s quite horrendous to trip up in front of him,” he gritted his teeth.

The other thing I’d 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.

“Is grayson like that always monitoring your mistakes always grilling you over them?” He looked up at me.

“why was he asking about Grayson he never brought him up

I kept my mouth shut and stayed silent. I didn’t 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.

“You can stay silent all you want I have pretty good idea of how your ex’s mind works,” he shrugged and stood up..

“Say nothing, do nothing that’s 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-”

“What the hell are you doing?!” 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 I’m sure my husband liked.

“My sons severed one of your allies and turned him into the Lycan Council and you’re down here talking to the girl. You must be chronically stupid if you think behaving like that will actually beat Grayson,” 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-.

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.

“You’re not supposed to be down here,” The man with green eyes growled and clenched his fists.

“Why Marcus becuase I’m not supposed to be seen by your girlfriend,” he sneered. “She’s in a cell who is she telling my son already knows I’m involved. She doesn’t matter!” He chided Marcus.

“it 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 wouldn’t end well for him.

“Get upstairs and find another way to keep tabs on my son,”

“my son, he kept saying my son. That’s 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,” 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!” He hissed at me.

“If your master will let you,”

“You-”

“Leave her! She has more backhone than you do she knows she’s getting a rise out of you and she isn’t afraid of the

consequences,” Deacon didn’t look over at me but stared Marcus down.

“Go upstairs,” 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. “I 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 I’ll leave you here or perhaps I’ll let you go home. But Grayson will die,” 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 didn’t 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. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“Dead man walking.” 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.
