Still Mavericks POV
I recognized Charlotte’s friend immediately and I knew that she was here to cause trouble for me and Valerie, or maybe she was sent her by her father to trick me and get me to make a mistake that would give him the opportunity to swoop in here with his warriors and get me arrested for violating his orders and fooling around with his daughter again.
You remember the silly whore u screwed while I was in the Academy for Alphas and Betas, I mean the same bitch that I used to get into King Gerald’s secret basement. I’m talking about the one and only, Beverly Kingston, the lycan princess. The last time I saw her, she was being dragged by her father’s guards after he caught us screwing our brains out in his dungeon. I wonder why she is not with her betrothed. Last I heard, her father was arranging her marriage to a Lycan general. He has thrown me into the dungeon for defiling his daughter, and at the same time, he was making arrangement to ship her off to the general.
I’m pretty sure that he heard the rumors about her other lovers and how she can’t keep her legs shut. He knows she has a problem with her addiction to sex, yet he lets her go unpunished. For his own selfish gain, he forced her to marry a lycan general of his choice and I didn’t hear from her after I was released from the dungeon. Actually, I didn’t even bother to ask of her because I was too busy trying to evade her father’s spies while also searching for a solution to our problem. Besides, I wasn’t really into her, I simply wanted to use her to get into her father’s hidden chambers.
It’s been quite a while, and 8m sure that she already knows that I used her. Her father must have briefed her about his plans, and I’m sure she must have put the dots together and realized that I never loved her. And that brings me to the very question that has been bothering me since I first set my eyes on her,
“What the fuck is she going here, is she the one sponsoring Charlotte and her team and forcing them to come after Valerie and I?”
As if she is the one behind their attack, that means she already knows that Valerie is the last healer, and she knows the powers she possesses. If that is the case, then why is she working with these amateurs when she can have her father here within seconds, and why the hell is she releasing her aura to suppress Valerie when she is supposed to know that Valerie is ten times stronger than she is. She is just a lycan princess, whereas, Val is a direct descendant of the moon goddess, and her powers are unmatched.
“Is this the peasant trying to share a man with me?” Beverly asked in a condescending tone, sounding so mean and hateful. I watched them bullying, Valerie and I knew immediately that Beverly doesn’t know shit about Val. It’s all Charlotte. That bitch must have brought her here to hurt her sister. I wonder how they both know each other. Beverly finds it hard to relate and communicate directly with werewolves because she thinks we are beneath her. Yet here she is with a human, acting as if they are buddies or besties. It just doesn’t seem right, there must be something else connecting these two. I must be missing something here, I need to investigate more and find out what they are doing together, and why the hell are they, partners.
From the look of things, Beverly doesn’t believe that Val is the girl thru are looking for, and that is why she is trying to bully and subdue her to see if she would resist her. I can see them looking at each other, communicating with their eyes as they bully her, and I know that her sure is not affecting Valerie. She would expose herself if she doesn’t act docile in front of the lycan princess. Instead of looking down in submission, she stared at her fixedly, sizing her Beverly up the same way she was sizing her up.
“What the hell are you doing, Val?
That’s Beverly Kingston, the lycan princess. You can’t be starting at her like that, it would give you away, and you’ll be caught and punished by the king. The Lycans have their beasts, so we are forced to submit to them. When you meet a lycan, you don’t just stand there and size them up, you bow your head in submission to prove that you are loyal and submissive. I know you don’t feel intimidated by her aura, and I don’t feel suppressed either, but I know better than to insult a lycan princess in the presence of a crowd. Your sister is trying to set you up and get you exposed, she is doing this on purpose, my love. You can’t let her succeed, you need to fake it. Look around you and watch everyone’s position, then stand exactly the same way as the others.” I instructed her firmly, sounding a bit pissed at her for making the mistake of contending with the goddam lycan princess.
“You stupid bitch!
It took you long enough to recognize me and acknowledge my presence. I thought you needed to be taught a lesson because it seems you are one of the rogues that feel we don’t deserve your submission. I’m glad you realized your mistakes before it gets you in trouble.” I could tell that Beverly was buying it, I could feel her excitement and pride from my position. I think she sees Valerie as a threat or something, but now that it’s obvious that Valerie is submissive to her, she is a bit calmer now, and she would have turned around and left Valerie alone, but that bitch Charlotte wouldn’t just keep her mouth shut.
“She’s not submissive to you, she’s faking it. I know this bitch, I fucking grew up with her. She is not humble and submissive. She also has magical powers that make her strong and evil.” She yelled like a freaking lunatic. She tried to infuriate Val and get her to attack as usual, but Val proved to be wiser than her and she didn’t let her succeed with her plot.
“I don’t know what you were thinking when you invited me over here, telling me stories of magic and powerful sorcery. I’m a very busy person, Charlotte, and I won’t get dragged into your silly rivalry with this woman. I’m only letting this go because my lover is around here somewhere. But trust me, the next time you try this shit with me, I’ll make sure you regret it.” Beverly warned her firmly. She should have known better than to get Beverly involved in her plots. Beverly is not a patient person, she could rip off her head in one clean strike if she feels used or insulted by her. Charlotte could feel the change in Beverly’s mood, we could all feel it. She is no longer facing Val, instead, she is facing Charlotte and she is glaring dangerously at her. Charlotte could not face her hard stare, so she turned to Val in anger, yelling and cursing at her.
“You fucking bitch!
I’m going to kill you and rip out your…” I know she is so pissed and I know she could try to hurt Valerie because she blames her for turning Beverly against her. The worst part is that Valerie cannot defend herself, or else she’ll get us exposed for real this time around. I had to step out from my hiding spot,
“Hold it right there!” I let out fiercely, stopping her from completing that statement.
“You can’t waltz into my building and threaten my secretary. I won’t take that from anyone important, not to mention someone as insignificant as you are, saying such hateful words to my Secretary. I will not take that shit from you. Now get your sorry self out of my property before I call security on you.” I told her sternly, making her scoff in disgust.
“I’ll leave Maverick, but not because you asked me to go. You have no right to kick me out of your office building because my husband is your business partner, remember?” she asked mockingly as she sauntered towards the exit, swaying her hips as she left.
“I’ll be back, Val, I will be back.” She called out to Val as she stepped into the elevator, smirking evilly at her sister. I wonder what growing up with them would be like for Valerie. It would have been a living hell to get bullied every fucking day by people that are supposed to be like family to you. But I’m sure she did something to get Charlotte this vengeful. Charlotte had said it was because she stole her man, but I don’t think that is just it, I think it’s way more than that. I would have tried to figure it out, but that’s the last thing I have on my agenda right now. One thing I’m sure of is that I will stop her at all costs, I’ll never let her hurt my baby girl.
“Hello, lover boy…
That was so hot, My love. You know I like it when you get all bossy and Dominant?” Beverly let out excitedly, sounding like a fucking, dirty whore. I almost groaned out loudly to show her just how much I hate her unannounced present, but I resorted to groaning within me as I creased my brow, wondering how I’m going to get rid of her for good.
“What the hell are you doing here, Beverly?
Are you trying to get me arrested and locked up in the dungeon again, is that why you are here?” he asked her firmly, trying to keep his eyes away from mine to avoid suspicions because I wanted to give Valerie the signal I spoke about earlier. You remember when I said I was going to give her a signal, right?
“Ignore her and just focus on me, I’ll give you a signal to leave. And when I do, please leave immediately. Stay away from Charlotte and leave Beverly to me, I can handle her.” These were my exact words to her and thought she understood what I was talking about. But when I have her my signal, she refused to move an inch. Instead, she looked away from me and she stood in the same position, observing my exchange with Beverly.
“Damn!
This girl is just too stubborn. I’m sure it’s her curiosity that’s making her act this way. She wants to know what is going on between Beverly and I, and she’s willing to risk her life just to satisfy her curiosity. She knows I can’t use our mind link now that I’m standing in front of Beverly. I tried one more time, but she kept ignoring me and acting dumb.
“Leave us, Valerie. I want to have a private conversation with Beverly.” I told her firmly, acting all bossy and mean.
“How about the coffee you requested for, boss?
I was hoping to take her orders as well, I can hurry to the cafe and be back before you know it. ” she let out with a smile that made her look so calm and innocent. But I know better than to fall for that fake smile. I know she is up to no good, and I won’t stand here and entertain her tricks.
“That is fine, Valerie. I won’t be sticking around to have coffee. As a matter of fact, Beverly and I have a lot to talk about and I wouldn’t want her presence to disrupt or interrupt our work. So I’m taking her to a nice restaurant for Brunch.” I responded in the same tone she has used, causing her to frown deeply at me before turning to walk away angrily. I know she is pissed, and I can sense her anger, but this is the only way to stop her from interfering in my business. I never wanted to go out with Beverly, but seeing her acting overly nice is enough indication that she is up to no good.
She has nearly let her guard down just now. She was so pissed that she turned around and left before Beverly permitted her to leave. And her aura slipped for a brief second, I felt her aura as much as I felt her anger. I nearly panicked because I thought Beverly would feel her aura too, but she didn’t. She is too excited to even notice that Valerie walked away without obtaining permission from her. She is more excited about the fact that I openly announced to everyone that I was taking her out for Brunch. I guess she wasn’t joking when she called me her lover, I think the bitch is actually in love with me.
How is that even possible, is she fucking insane?
“Why are you here, Beverly?
And please don’t give me that crap about missing me and falling in love with me. I’m not the only man you fucked, so why the hell are you bent on ruining my life, Beverly. What do you want from me?” I let out sternly, glaring furiously at her.
“Come, on, my love. This is our first date after the incident that put us apart for a while. I’ll suggest we make it memorable and fun. Why don’t we order for food, I’m famished?” she responded excitedly, ignoring my question. Before I could say another word, she was already ordering for her favorite meals, and she ordered for mine as well. I guess she paid attention to the silly lies I always speak about while I was with her. Maybe I slipped at some point and I told her my favorite dishes. She knew exactly what I liked and she ordered a lot of food for both of us.
I watched as she kept acting like a high school prom queen that is out on a first date. Everyone kept glancing our way and smiling at us as if we are lovers. She inhaled deeply, taking in the scent of the food while laughing excitedly. I was getting pissed, and I could feel my anger slipping once more.
“Come on, my love, let’s eat.” She let out in concern, looking at me like a freaking lunatic. That fucking did it, I didn’t wait one more second. I pushed all the plates in front of me onto the floor and I leaned on the table to look straight into her eyes,
“Now listen to me, you bitch. I don’t care who you are, and I don’t fucking care about your father either. We had a thing in the past, and now it’s over. I’ll suggest you move on with your life and stay the fuck away from me.” I roared angrily
