CHAPTER 39

SIMON~

It’s been weeks since I last laid eyes on Ashley. I’ve managed to keep my distance, despite my wolf’s relentless agitation. I’ve stayed in control, though it hasn’t been easy.

Today, I saw her on the phone, chatting and laughing. I didn’t realize she had a phone, and it irked me to see her so cheerful while speaking to someone else.

Aside from that annoyance, I was informed by a maid that an old acquaintance had dropped by. I decided to confront this unwelcome visitor.

I flung open the door to find him lounging in my chair. The cheeky bastard spread his arms, as if expecting a hug.

“In your dreams, asshole,” I snapped, striding across the room and shoving him off the chair.

“Ouch! Damn it! You could’ve at least given me a heads-up,” he groaned, wincing in mock pain.

“I assume you’ve been well, RD. What brings you to my pack?” I asked, settling into my chair.

“Hello to you too, you prick. I just wanted to see my favorite brother,” he said, taking the seat across from me.
