She pointed her finger at Jamie and said, “We’ll see about that. You watch your back.”
Alexis swept her arm across the counter, knocking everything off. She turned on her heels and stormed out the door.
Clara looked at Jamie in amazement and admiration.
“Wow. I’ve never seen that side of you before. I’m impressed.”
“I don’t like confrontation and will avoid it when I can,” Jamie said. “But I’m not going to let that woman push me around just because she is like some spoiled rotten kid who thinks that she can have anything that she wants.”
“Good for you.”
Jamie was still fuming. She was shaking and her face was red. A low growl escaped.
“It’s one thing to be afraid of her and her brothers because they hire hunters to kill shifters. But it will be a cold day in hell before I let anyone, including her,especiallyher, interfere with my personal life.”
“Alexis said that she was going to make your life a living hell. What do you think that she is going to do?”
Jamie ran her fingers through her hair, messing up her bun, and sighed.
“I have no idea.”
“Whatever she tries to get up to, I have your back. So will Dillon.”
“Thank you. I appreciate it.”
Jamie was starting to calm down. Her heart rate was returning to normal. She unclenched her jaw. It hurt a little because she didn’t know that she had clamped her teeth together so hard.
She ran her hands over her face and took in another deep breath. Jamie fixed her hair bun and pressed her lips together.
“I can’t remember when I’ve been that mad. She’s lucky that I have great control over my temper and I didn’t turn into a bear and shred her.”
“Thank you for not doing that. I really would hate to clean up that much blood and figure out how to hide a body.”
Jamie coughed out a laugh.
“You’re welcome,” Jamie replied.
“Are you going to tell Luke?”
“Nope. Men hate drama, and right now it is a drama between me and Alexis.”
“A drama that he is starring in.”
“He might be the source of her conflict, but there is no need for him to know anything about it. If things get worse, I might mention something to him, but for now, I’ll keep him out of it.”
“By the way, we didn’t have a chance to talk this morning. How did your date with Luke go?” Clara asked.
Jamie’s eyes lit up and a slow smile formed.
“That good, huh?” Clara asked.
“It started out great. We went to the steak house to have dinner. We were laughing and having a great time.”
“But…”
“It was interrupted by Alexis, who, by some weird coincidence, just happened to be hanging out with her friend at the steakhouse. She came over to talk to him, gushing over him. I’m surprised she didn’t sit in his lap. She didn’t even acknowledge my presence – didn’t talk to me, didn’t look at me, nothing. Which, I was okay with.”
“Luke sent her on her way, politely. We had dessert and then went for a walk, even though it was a little cold outside.”
