Chapter 9

LAKE: I allowed the door to slam close as I entered the mansion. It was her, I knew it the moment my eyes rested on her in that dainty wolf uniform. It was not just the familiarity of the wretched fabric of the gloves, but her scent as well. I was immediately repulsed, even though River was unable to stay still.  A whore at night and a waitress by day? Exactly how many more jobs did she work? How many more streets did she run? This had to be some cruel joke.  My first two mates had been exquisite and tasteful women with class. The first, an alpha's daughter, and the second a famous realtor, known for her brains in the industry. Now, this? A complete nothing?  It was a dire insult. A stench on my personality and a mockery of my crown. The goddess outdid herself this time. My wolf had been unable to stay still since he had sniffed her and it was pissing me off. After rejecting two mates, I had gotten used to controlling myself around females, the reason I had not gone overboard with her.
