Chapter 204 Ruining plans
“I didn’t know she was capable of facing Laila and challenging her, let alone daring to change what has already been accepted for generations.” Camilla mused, still unable to believe the girl had that much nerve in her. But then she had won the competition where people died, and she should have known better than to underestimate a woman who didn’t even rely on her wolf to get things done. Just what did she think she was doing, changing their law as if she had the right?
“Oh, Mami, she is asking for trouble, and by the moon I will give her exactly the trouble she is looking for in this pack!” Javier snapped, pacing the length of the room where his mother sat looking, for the first time in a long while, as genuinely worried as he was.
And beyond ruining their plans, his problem with her was becoming deeply personal by the day, for she had done something to his wife that he hadn’t asked for and would never forgive.
How dare she turn his Sofia against him? He had maintained his control over her for so long, shaped her so carefully into someone who needed him for every small decision, that he was no longer used to her doing anything at all without consulting him first, even something as small and insignificant as when she bathed.
“Just as I told you before, you are not to touch a hair on her body without my permission. I haven’t yet gotten full confirmation on whether she is his mate or not, and until I do, you leave her alone.” Camilla said strictly, looking up at her pacing son whose jaw hardened visibly at her words.
Camilla looked thoughtful for a moment before she rose from her seat and said, “We are not close enough to her to know it ourselves, but there is a way to find out. We find it out through someone she trusts. Someone like your brother.”
However, right now, she knew that drawing him closer might make him the only one capable of giving her the information she needed.
His brother should have been born a useless girl. It would have suited him far better given his spinelessness, and Javier would have appreciated a sister much more. At least she would have married into an important pack and brought her husband’s support to his reign, rather than a useless brother who spent his time supporting his enemy.
“Good luck convincing my loser of a brother, but all I know is that that woman will have to pay for what she did, whether or not she turns out to be the Alpha’s mate. If I don’t teach her a lesson, she will start to believe she is something mighty and begin changing our entire world piece by piece before I take the seat.”
Javier wanted to scoff but held it back and said, “I won’t. I won’t do anything to her yet, not until you finish convincing my coward of a brother.” He gave his word in a grumble.
