To my luck. Theon wasn’t at home when I arrived, so I rushed upstairs with the intention of showering Mito’s scent off of
- me.
Sadie had scrunched up her nose when I entered the car and said that I reeked of him. When she asked what happened, t simply told her we talked. Of course, the side eye she gave me showed she didn’t believe me but I was glad she didn’t press the matter.
When I tried to talk about what happened with Bessie, I sensed her stiffness and the way her hands tightened against the steering wheel, I could tell she was not ready to talk.
So I dropped the matter too.
As soon as I got back to the Windermere estate, I entered my room, then I paused, incredibly appalled by the gigantic bouquet of red and white roses sitting next to a medium sized pink teddy bear that had “I’m Sorry” stitched to its chest.
I moved closer, noticing that next to it was a flat envelope.
Slowly, I picked it up and opened it. Inside was a small piece of paper and in it, were the neat handwritings of Theon.
“I am sorry I acted like a dick. Inside the envelope is my credit card, please spend my money. Do whatever you want with it. It’s yours, and if you want to punish me….I’m yours.”
My heart raced at the last two words. Something about it sent a feral thrill through me.
I closed my eyes and exhaled hard.
These twins will not kill me.
First, I must shower, and with that decision, I removed my clothes and stepped into the shower.
After an eternity, I stepped out, and rubbed the steam off the mirror. To my surprise, my skin was pinkish red from all the severe scrubbing. Still, my skin seemed not to have forgotten his touch. I still remember every trace of finger and how he finger fucked the senses out of me.
Sacred Stars!.
My thighs pressed together of their own accord, igniting that sweetness in between my thighs. I suddenly felt the urge to touch myself, like he touched me, but I stopped and shook my head.
This is not what I need right now.
I need to think of ways to help Theon mark me so I can get my inheritance back. I need to figure out how to save Miro.
Letting out a deep exhale, I left the bathroom and after changing into a Winnie The Pooh long shirt, I strolled to my room and sat on the bed.
Packing my hair up into a bun, my gaze landed on something that made me pause.
Sitting on the nightstand was my family’s picture frame.
My chest tightened.
This was the same picture frame that shattered the day I was kicked out of my pack and I hadn’t even gotten around to

YO
name is bust now it sat brand new, aring at me.
hummediately, my eyes watered as I held it in my hands and against my chest I can’t believe Theon fred it
For me
I didn’t think I was capable of loving Theon more but now I do.
t do so much.
“I hope I’m not the reason you’re crying
My head jerked up immediately and to my pleasant surprise, I found Theon standing in the doorway.
I hadn’t even heard him come.
How could someone so big move so silently?
Overwhelmed by the sheer happiness within, I got up from the bed and ran into his embrace. Theon wrapped his arms around me, making me feel safe, and I took a deep breath, inhaling his cinnamon, butter and apple pie scent, while reveling in his warmth.
“Thank you.” I whispered.
Theon planted a kiss on my head. “You’re welcome.”
We stayed like that for a moment, neither of us making an attempt to move, but then I remembered today’s incident and I decided it was best if Theon knew about Sadie.]
“I have something to tell you.” I muttered, making the first move to pull back.
Theon’s expression turned serious. “I have something to tell you too, but you first.”
“I think Sadie was experimented on in the sense that her parents used my blood on her.”
Theon blinked, his brows furrowed but he didn’t look too surprised. “Makes sense but she hasn’t displayed any unusual traits apart from being a werewolf.”
“Today, she did.” Then I went on to explain what happened, conveniently leaving out some details.
“Wait, my
brother was there?”
“Yes…..but he didn’t hurt me. He left after finding out what truly happened.”
That wasn’t a complete lie.
Theon frowned, his blue eyes reading me. “That’s weird of my brother. To just walk away and not try to get physical.”
Shit.
I planted the best neutral face I could muster and then added a one shoulder shrug. “Yeah. That’s weird…too but I don’t know. Maybe he’s really into Bessie now.”
Theon’s suspicious gaze eased as he cocked his head to the side. “Yeah. That could happen.”
A moment of silence settled on us both and the peace I once found in it shrivelled up.
“What about Sadie?” I blurted out. “What can we do about her?”

Theon shoved his hands in his pocket. “She did say she was going to sign up at the Academy. So if she does that, I can train her but I wont mention anything until she comes to me herself,
I heaved a sigh of relief. “Thank you
“But…” Theon continued, his eyes swimming in thought. “The other kids didn’t show any other signs that I know and I went to school with the older Blackwell brothers.”
My curiosity piqued. “What were they like?”
Theon lifted a shoulder, “Reserved. Quiet and they had this air of superiority to everyone except Miro and I. They would only talk to us and not the others. Everyone kind of hated them
“Wow. What are they doing now?”
“That’s the thing. They are dead.”
My heart jolted in surprise. “How? What happened?”
“Dominic Tarrent.” Theon’s jaw locked. “I don’t know what beef he had with the Blackwells but it was personal. Dominic sent one body cut in half and the other in pieces.”.
My chest tightened at the news. What could Adam have gone through in that moment?
“So this means Adam is the only heir?”
“Yes.”
I began to wonder. Since the Blackwells control the businesses in the East, that means they are involved in what happened to my inheritance and when I come for them, Adam will be in the crossfire just like Sadie too will be.
Can I really betray my friends for revenge?
“You seem troubled.” Theon stated, crossing his arms and leaning against the doorframe.
“I am just thinking of this legal process and how it might affect the people I love.”
Theon stared. “If the people you love can’t understand your hurt and the things you need to do to find closure, then they don’t deserve your love. I told you from the start. Never let anyone’s opinion of you define who you really are. If friendships die on your quest to find peace, then they were never meant to be.”
My throat constricted at his words, but I nodded in response, unable to speak. He was right, but I was scared. Scared of losing my friends.
The distant buzzing of a phone jarred me from my thoughts.
“Excuse me.” Theon said and left my room to get his phone, while I pondered on the coming storm ahead.
“What?!” I heard Theon yell and that had me concerned and leaving the room to go to the stair landing.
Looking down, I found Theon still on the phone, one hand running through his long hair while his face was etched in frustration. Immediately, I went down the stairs.
“You mean no one saw anything?!” Theon asked, .and his tone was laced with more frustration.
“Alright. Find everything you can about this! I need to know what fucking happened!”
“Babe, what’s wrong?” I asked in concern and Theon turned to me, visibly.

He exhaled hard, and raised his head to the ceiling, before looking down at the floor. “I just got news. Terrible news”
My heart began to hammer because somehow I know this concns me. “What news, Babe?”
My
mate raised his sad, blue eyes to mine. “The attorneys I hired. They were all found dead in their homes.”
My heart skipped a beat, as my mouth went dry. Suddenly, the Watcher’s words came to mind.
‘I can promise you, this legal route won’t expected.
go as
I guess he was right.
