But instead of answering the call, he shoved it back into his pocket, letting it ring. The ringing soon stopped, and my frown deepened.

“Why do you keep ignoring that person?” I asked.

“It’s not your concern,” he murmured, his eyes dark.

Then, a thought occurred to me, and I found myself feeling paralyzed.

“Was it Irene?” I asked him. “Has she been trying to reach you, Ethan?”noveldrama

“As I said, it’s not your concern,” he said slower.

I realized I was right; it was Irene. I remembered she mentioned earlier that Ethan was busy with a meeting and she was upset that she couldn’t see him this evening. Had he been ignoring her all night because he was here with me?

He was already turning me into the other woman, and I hadn’t even agreed to be his mistress. I felt completely sick to my stomach.

“You should go,” I said, folding my arms across my chest and turning away from him. “You don’t want to keep your precious Irene waiting any longer. She might lose interest, and you might not get what you truly want.”

He stepped behind me; he was so close now that I could feel his warm breath on the back of my neck

“You think we are so different, but in reality, we are the same, Judy,” he went on to say. I furrowed my brows, not sure where he was going with this. I didn’t bother to turn and face him; I kept my stance. “I marry Irene to get what I want, and you spread your legs for Gavin to get what you want.”

My face drained of blood from his words.

“It’s not like that,” I told him, my voice wavering slightly.

“Don’t lie to me!” He growled, his hands gripping my hips and holding them so firmly that it was most painful. “I know exactly what you are doing. Why don’t you spread your legs for me and get what you really want.”

I felt his hardness pressing into my backside and I quickly stepped out of his grip, whipping around to face him. “You need to get out,” I told him, my eyes burning with unshed tears that I refused to let fall.

Ethan was furious that Judy was being so ridiculous. Couldn’t she see that she had to be his mistress so both their wolves would be okay after he married another woman? Judy was still his mate, and he wasn’t going to let her go that easily, even if he was marrying Irene. He was only marrying Irene to get the title of Alpha. He would probably sleep with her and have children with her to fulfill his husbandly duties, but she could never satisfy his wolf the way that Judy does.

They were true mates, and he doubted after he marked and mated with Irene that the mate bond, he felt with Judy would just go away.

The mark he left on Judy’s neck was still evident and it pleased him knowing that it wasn’t going away; that she could still feel him.

As he got to his car, he slid into the driver’s seat and pulled out his phone. There were numerous missed calls and texts from Irene. He was supposed to call her after his meeting earlier, but he never did. He was too preoccupied with getting to Judy and forcing her to submit to him.

He ignored each of her calls and texts.

He brought up his subordinate’s phone number and clicked on the call button. Pressing the phone to his cheek, he only waited for two rings before the other line was answered.

“Boss,” his subordinate said in greeting; he had been waiting for Ethan’s call with bated breath, their plan already in action and waiting for Ethan’s confirmation.

“Put the next stage of our plan in action,” Ethan ordered grimly. “It’s time that Judy learned how much she truly needs me.”
