Chapter 47
Claire
* 20 min fort
I’m sitting at a table bored out of my mind with this stupid event when I see that hot guy from the mall the other day.
At first, I think Gemma isn’t with him. Then I see her walking away.
I clench my hands into fists and fight to keep my claws from coming out so they don’t ruin my manicure.
That stupid bitch. I can’t believe Grandpa fell for whatever scheme
she came up with and made Cassian marry her.
If anyone ever finds out, it’s going to completely ruin the Blackwell family name. Her family is a joke. A disgrace. We have a reputation
to protect.
If people know we let some wolfless freak into our family, let alone married her to Cassian? It will be over for us. They’ll assume
Cassian is weak.
Goddess, and if she ever has a baby?
It will be some kind of freak, too.
I’ll drown that brat in a river before I ever let some wolfless kid
Chapter 47
think they can rule our family.

Cassian never responded to my text the other day with a picture of Gemma and this guy from the mall, which is annoying but
whatever.
Part of me is glad to see he hasn’t murdered this guy in cold blood. He is really hot. He was hot even in the casual clothes he had on
at the mall.
Tonight, in that suit? He looks like a fairytale prince.
And, since I couldn’t get him out of my mind after last week, I’ve done some digging on him. Apparently, he’s some talented hacker who just turned up after disappearing for a little while.
As soon as Gemma is far enough away from him, I get up and stride over.
If Cassian isn’t going to keep his secret wife in check, I’ll just teach her a lesson by stealing her man.
Someone that damn sexy deserves to be arm candy on someone high class, like me.
I walk up and pretend to bump into him, then fall back a little. He catches me. I like how big his hands are.

Then he looks down and recognizes me. He lets go so fast I
almost fall again!

I shake it off. I assume he’s just surprised to find himself talking to
someone as important as me.
“I’m so sorry!” I say. Then I pretend to gasp and be surprised to see him. I smile, looking up through my amazing, thick lashes. “Oh! It’s you. We met at the mall the other day.”
He doesn’t say anything, just stares at me, so I keep talking. “My name is Claire. I don’t think we were introduced, so you might not remember me. I’m part of the Blackwell family. Alpha Cassian Blackwell is my cousin.”
“I remember you,” he says in a low, quiet voice. “You tried to claw Gemma in the face.”
“Oh, that!” I put a hand delicately to my mouth and let out a sparkling little laugh. “Just a misunderstanding. Family business, you know?”
He stares at me again, then looks away toward the bathroom, where Gemma went. I’m starting to get annoyed. Who does this guy think he is?
Why the hell is he looking for Gemma when he could be talking to me?!

“I know you’re a hacker,” I say, leaning in like it’s a secret between the two of us. “You know, my cousin Alpha Cassian is looking for
“Thanks, but no thanks,” he interrupts.
I can’t believe he’d just cut me off like that!
“Excuse me?” I say. Maybe he doesn’t realize what an opportunity I’m handing him, here. “I don’t think you get it. Cassian can pay you ten times more than what you’re used to.”
“Gemma doesn’t like your Alpha,” he says.
I freeze. Is he serious? He’s not taking this job because Gemma
has decided she doesn’t like the man she conspired to marry?
I can’t take it. It’s too much. “What the hell?” I screech. “What does Gemma have to do with you being a hacker at all?”
Jace’s eyes go wide, and he suddenly clamps his mouth shut.
“Answer me!” I scream and stomp my foot.
People are turning to look, but I don’t care. All I care about is that this nobody thinks he can act like this when I deigned to speak
with him!

I even offered him a job for the most powerful pack in the mafia underworld. How dare he refuse!
“What’s going on here?”
I whirl and see Gemma has returned from the bathroom. She looks up at Jace, and when he looks down at her, I can see exactly why he’s being so stupid.
It’s clear in his face that he’s totally gone for Gemma! He just wants to get in her pants.
I want to scream again, but I have class, so I keep it inside. “None of your business,” I hiss at Gemma. “I’m about to make your life a living hell.”
Stupid bitch.
Then I turn and march away. Even above the noise of the gala, I
hear Jace sigh in what sounds like relief.
My eyes narrow. I’ll show them both what it means to mess with a
Blackwell.
I march right upstairs to the VIP lounge. There are at least a dozen
Alphas and other supernatural mafia bosses there.

I spot my cousin immediately and march right over to him. He’s standing there with Reyna.
Good. At least she’s worth his time, even if she is related to that dumb bitch Gemma.
“Cassian, Gemma is completely out of control! You need to do something!”
I lower my voice and say, “She’s downstairs with another man.
Even if no one else knows she’s your wife, our family does. You’re embarrassing yourself. Just wait until my mother hears about
this.”
