Chapter 8

"You will have to repeat that," ! choked.

He can't be serious. Who in their right mind proposes such a thing? It's completely absurd. He has surely lost his goddamn mind..

He doesn't respond to me. Just raised his perfectly shaped eyebrow. As if he were changing me to continue pretending that he hadn't heard him..

"Shit!" | mumbled. I'm staring down at my heels in thought..

A million thoughts race through my mind. Making it hard to keep up with each one..

The last and only time I had been in a sort of making, it had been a love match. At least that's what I had thought, and it hasn't ended well for me..

What he was proposing, on the other hand, was a business deal.

It brought to go horribly wrong..

Could I honestly enter into such a mating after I had been burned? Then, I was shoved aside once my usefulness had ended..

The familiar pain that has a grip on my heart emerges. I stamp it down. Refusing to give it reign. It only serves as a reminder of how broken I am..

"For a woman, you sure cursed like a sailor," he says flatly... look up and glared at him. Not understanding how cursing has anything to do with what we were discussing. Or what it had to do with me being a woman..

I report angrily. Giving him a glimpse of just how colourful my vocabulary is..

"If you hate my cursing that much, then what the hell am I doing here then? If you are going to waste my time, then you can take back your stupid offer and shove it up your freaking ass, you arrogant jerk."

If i was being honest. I was on edge. Being here with the ex-mate of my nemesis and with him prepositioning me. While fighting the desire to strangle him, I was messing with my head..

"Retract your claws, kitty," commanded in warning, not liking the disrespect. He was an alpha after all..

I growled, getting even more pissed. "I am not a damn kitten and stop telling what to do." The bastard just smirks as if he finds me cute. He had no idea just how dangerous I currently was.. I sighed deeply after a while. Let's just get back to the matter at hand. Why me and what was in it for you?" This is what I couldn't

understand. I haven't had much time to process everything he has told me, but I didn't understand this one thing. Thing. Why me out of all women?

We didn't know each other. We were basically strangers. So why would he come to me with this kind of preposition? Yes, it seemed like he hated Miranda as well. But that is the extent of our mutuality..

"It's simple, really. You have juy had your heart ripped to pieces, so there's no possibility of falling in love with me. This suits me because in order for this to work, love can't be involved. I want revenge, and I'm sure you do too..

I'm giving you a chance to get your sanity back and get revenge.

Besides, I need a mother figure for Jax. Someone who isn't a fucking bitch or total slut and Jax likes you to be her mother and which is rare."

I think about what he's just told me. I can't help but feel like his answer is somewhat vague. Like he wasn't telling me everything.

His reasons seem justifiable but there was something else.

Something he wasn't telling me or I was missing..

I stare deeply into his green orbs.

Trying to see if I can catch a glimpse of what he was hiding.

But he's shut off. Emotions. His eyes and expression giving away nothing..

Could I really enter such a deal without knowing everything?

Without getting all the facts right? The rug could be pulled right from under me. Like with Darren..

If that somehow happens,Sebastian wouldn't even be to blame because I entered into this blindly..

This definitely spelt bad news written all over it, but could I pass the opportunity, though?

He was giving me everything I wanted and desired. To get my revenge on Darren and Miranda, which was one of the reasons I came back..

With a powerful alpha such as Sebastian, I could easily get that.

No one would even be the wiser than I was involved in their downfall..

"How will this proposal prevent me from going feral?" I asked him after a while..

I didn't want to go to feral and as much as I'm still hurt by crystal, I understand that she's just a child. I still wanted to fix this between us..
