Renee used to be attractive enough.
Now her black hair is crunchy with hairspray. The makeup she cakes on to hide the broken blood vessels of her drinking habit gathers in the shallow creases around her eyes, her lurid purple eyeshadow smudged. That bodycon dress is nowhere near tight enough to hold together her shit.
“Dominik has a mole at Wyvern House. Someone who knew your pack made an offer to a new female. That’s why he targeted you at the ball. He wants Li—”
“Don’t say her name.”
Renee whimpers at my bark, hunching into herself.
I won’t allow her to taint the one precious thing I have left.
“What’s his next play?”
“The soldiers don’t know. I’m working on one of his higher-ups. I’ll have him in my bed before my next—Ah, soon.”
Diamonds is under the Redfang organization. It’s not where the power players gather—I have other, more trustworthy sources digging there—but it’s the perfect gig for Renee with her bullshit story about how she was fired from her cushy OCC training job. Her loud, well-documented resentment for my father makes a good cover.
And her real story is blackmail gold.
As she picks at her chipping manicure, uncomfortable under my attention, I take solace in the fact that I can kill her at any moment.
A bullet in the ear with the silenced gun under my seat. A slit throat. Or I could strangle her with my own hands and watch the life leave the eyes of the pedophile bitch.
The power settles the fraying parts of me.
I’m in control.
Even when the memory comes—the way the memory always comes—I can swallow it down.
“Have you ever touched an omega before, little Wyvern?” Renee grabs my hand, dragging it down her body to the heat between her legs. I freeze, half-hard and half confused. “Can you smell my scent? Do you want to taste it?”
I shudder, blinking away the past.
Renee fucked with me for a year before I got her fired. Now I own her, and watching her squirm is the only thing that keeps me from falling apart.
“If you like Lil-her,” Renee stutters. “Keep her safe. The Redfangs are out for blood.”
I snort.
Safe.
As if Renee can fathom what that means.
“I want to know the second you have more information.” The sooner we nail Dominik, the sooner we can safely send Lilah packing.
The sooner I can go home without feeling like I’m in freefall.
I need her gone.
I need her to stop reminding me of everything that might have been.
Even if driving her away destroys us both.
