Axton growls. “You would ruin our business relationships over an infringement!”
“For family, yes. Now, arrest him.”
“Family?”
Marco groans, turning to him. “Sondra, she is my sister-in-law. Elena here is her carer and now family. So, yes, Axton, if I have to choose sides, I choose hers.”
I smirk and raise an eyebrow at Axton. He growls and curses. The council guards move in.
“No fucking need. I will come willingly,” Axton snarls. He stomps toward the car and opens the passenger seat door before stopping. “You are making a mistake, Elena.”
“Only mistake I made, Axton, was letting you think you could walk all over me. You’ll learn, though,” I tell him.
“We’ll see.” He laughs, climbing into Marco’s car.
“Yes, he will.” Marco chuckles, sending me a wink. He flags his men to stand down and walks back to the car while I return to my pack.
Chapter
Seventy-Six
Axton
Friday
The supernatural council has officially sanctioned me, barring me from leaving the city for the next two weeks. Meaning Elena now has an extra two weeks to her Alpha anonymity clause. And I can not leave the city; therefore, I can not see her or the kids unless, by some miracle, she comes here.
Khan is furious, not so much with her but with me. He is still a little peeved that Elena would take it that far, which now means unless she chooses to bring them, I won’t see the boys today or have them for the weekend.
I haven’t heard a single word from her since, absolutely nothing, despite my constant messages. So, for now, I have to suck it up or pay the anonymity breach fee. This doesn’t faze me, but Eli does not think it is in our best interest to anger Marco with how much influence he has within the councils.
Hearing the door open, Eli walks in with a smile, holding the paperwork I have been waiting for.
“You got it?” I ask him, leaning forward.
“Yep, you officially own every scrap of land around her pack,” Eli confirms, handing me the paperwork.
I chuckle. Elena is going to regret angering me because, by midweek, I will have organized for construction to start right along her borders. Let’s see how she likes the noise. I glance down at the paperwork, its massive stamp of approval, and the council agreement for work to start.
“You’re a fool. You’ll only anger her more,” Khan huffs at me.
“That’s the point,” I remind him. She’ll have to come to the city, and I own this city, so nothing gets past me, and neither will she. If Elena wants to play silly little games. She is about to learn whom she is playing against.
Khan laughs at my thoughts. “No, you’re about to learn who you’re playing against. And I can’t wait to see her put you in your place.”
“You’re aware you’re my wolf, right? Not hers! You should be on my side!” I snarl at him, and I see Eli watching me. He raises an eyebrow at me while I argue with my wolf.
“But she is my mate. Sorry, but if I gotta choose sides. I choose the one where my throat doesn’t get cut in my sleep.”
I shake my head at him. He seriously overestimates her. She has no influence besides Marco. My brows furrow, knowing Marco is also one of my biggest assets.
I ponder his words when I feel the edges of my mind creeping up with an idea, one that would force her back into the city. One that would hurt her more than anything. Filing for full custody. She would never survive against my legal team. The disgraced daughter of Alpha Derrick, Porn Queen. Yeah, that is not a case she would win.
“Don’t you fucking dare!” Khan snarls in my head.
“Well, I don’t see you coming up with any great ideas on how to force her back to us!” I retort.
“You damn bonehead! You want her back? Fucking earn her back. There’s an idea you haven’t tried!” Khan snaps at me before wandering off.
