Chapter: 43My heart leapt into my mouth at the thought of being burnt by silver. “Wait!!!” He stopped, turning to me. I stared at him before folding my arms across my chest. “You're bluffing.” “Am I?!” He asked, slipping his hands into his pocket. “Do you really want to take that risk?” I scowled at him, he had to be bluffing… then again, he would have let Willow drink the poison had I not stopped her. “It's just a kiss pet, unless of course, you're afraid your body will betray you.” Anger flared within me at his insult. He was trying to egg me on and damn it if he wasn't succeeding. “I'll talk to my healer to have an ointment ready.” He said, walking away. “Fine!!! I'll kiss you.” I muttered, he turned back again. “W

Chapter: 42I stormed out of the bathroom, Delilah calling after me. Liam was leaning against the wall and jumped at the sight of me looking absolutely furious. “Woah!!! What's going on?!” He demanded, grabbing me. I snarled, struggling against his grip. “I'm going to kill that asshole!!! He branded me with a glorified collar!!! Like some… some pet!!” I snapped. Liam turned his attention to the necklace, his brows furrowed. “Wait… is that?” “The bloody bullet I shot him with. He turned it into a stupid necklace and now I can't get it off because it has no clasp!!!” I growled. Delilah ran out of the toilet. “Ms Adelaide, please you have to calm down.” She pleaded. I snarled at her. “How would you like it if you had a leash around your neck?!” She kept quiet, staring at me, a wary look on her face.

Chapter: 41"Oops... I am so sorry Adelaide..." Olivia giggled " I mean the dress wasn't flattering on you in the first place but...." I exhaled through my lips, pushing my hair away from my face, ignoring the horrified looks around me. "Olivia?" She turned to me, still giggling with her friends. "Yeah?" "KNEEL" The order was firm, her eyes went wide as her knees slammed to the ground. Her wolf had no choice but to force her body to obey my command. "W...what..." I stopped a passing waiter and picked up a bottle of wine from his tray before walking up to her, relishing the look of fear and anger in her eyes. Raising the bottle above her head, I looked down my nose at her. "Oops..." I whispered, tipping the bottle over, watching as the contents drench her hair and dress

Chapter: 40I felt raw hot anger consume me all the way from the depth of my stomach, spreading through my entire body as I stared at the necklace contained in the box, my eyes on the pendant which had been made out of the bullet I had shot him with. He lifted it up, showing it off to the crowd while keeping his eyes on me. Keep calm Adelaide, you can't attack him here, he is trying to get a reaction out of you. Don't let the bastard win. Willing all the self restraint I had no idea I possessed, I smiled though I was sure it looked more like a grimace. “It's lovely.” His grin widened. “Then you wouldn't mind me putting it on you.” His reply made my blood boil but I forced myself to nod, turning my back to him. He unhooked the necklace, slipping it into his pocket before placing the new one around my neck.

Chapter: 39The room and music stopped, it was as if time had stopped at that moment. Everyone stood frozen as Jacob and I stood at the top of the short flight of stairs. I swallowed hard, keeping my eyes on our seats which were all the way at the other side of the hall. Jacob moved, forcing me to walk. We made our way down the stairs, down the walkway. I could feel several eyes on me. I couldn’t even blame them, I had been dead to the world for nine years and for them to see me here, it was definitely shocking. We got to the raised platform and Jacob helped me up the short flight of steps to the table where Tony, the advisors and their mates were all standing. He pulled my chair out and I stood in front of it, he did the same before looking across the stunned standing audience. We sat at the same time and for a second, everyone else except the Advisors and Tony who had also settled, remained standing as if they still couldn't believe what th

Chapter: 38He was standing in the hall, dressed in a black suit, leaning against the wall. His eyes moved to mine as I got to the ground floor. He pushed himself off the wall, approaching me. I stood my ground, looking up at him. “You truly are a sight, Adelaide.” He uttered, taking his time to look me over. I could see the desire evident in his eyes. “Too bad I can't say the same for you.” I replied, giving him a saccharine smile. He smirked, offering me his arm. “Shall we?” He asked. “Why ask as if I have a choice in this?” He reached over, his finger tracing my jawline. “Because pet, it makes this more fun for me.” He whispered. Asshole. “Knowing that every decision you make is against what you heart desires and there is nothing you or anyone can do about it. I hold all the cards in this ga
