Chapter 178
“Because he needs me, only I can command them to bow to him and he knows that won’t happen, he killed my family so has no leverage against me unless I’m carrying his heir.”
She chuckles darkly. “After we’ve solidified our position? You‘ Il be sold to the vampire king as a blood bag, Rhett told me this himself.” This time, I can’t help the fit of giggles that overtake me. He has done a real number on her when I just laid it out for her so plainly but thinks I’m the idiot here.
“If I mark him, and our bond will ensure that doesn’t happen, you twit. Rhett is playing you, he isn’t going to hand me to the vampire king and weaken himself.” How is this woman still not understanding what I am telling her?
I can’t believe he has managed to brainwash her into thinking our mate bond won’t affect him if I claim him. Mate bonds go both ways once we are marked and mated.
And she calls me naive and stupid? “Once you’ve marked him, he has no need for you,” she states confidently.
“You really are as stupid as you look. I felt you with Rhett every time you two fucked. I can only imagine the agony he would be in once I mark him. Yet you still think he’ll hand me over to the vampire king as his plaything and personal juice box? That he would endure that agony for you?” I laugh, but I‘ m seething now, my blood boiling at the thought of everything they’ve done and everything they plan to do.
“I don’t know if I should pity you for your stupidity at believing
him or laugh, knowing if I mark him, he’ll know what a conniving lying bitch you are.” I snicker at my thoughts. Rhett will know exactly what kind of conniving bitch she is.
Her hand whips out so quickly I don’t even see it, only feel it. Her hand connects with my face and my head whips to the side with the force and I feel every single claw. The sharp sting of tears at the slash on my face reopening it and deepening and creating more wounds. “You dare speak to me like that. I’m your Luna!” she hisses while blood pours and drips from my face. My shirt is instantly soaked through with blood.
I should shut my mouth, stop provoking her but she has added fuel to fire that was already blazing in me. “No, Bianca, I’m technically yours. And say I do mark him, how do you think Rhett will take it when he learns you were the one who really robbed him and not me, then loaned him his own money back, claiming your family was fixing my mistake.”
“What are you talking about?”
“If Rhett forces me to mark him, I’ll be sure to tell him what you did. Good luck convincing him otherwise when he can feel me completely and will be able to feel if I deceive him.” she pauses, and I see the hint of worry in her eyes.
“Excuse me?” okay, that wasn’t worry that was her stupidity showing again, she isn’t getting it.
“Once I mark him, Rhett will be able to feel if I’m lying or not. He’ll feel it through our mate bond, just as I can feel his desire to come back here and check on me. And if I do mark him I
will be sure to tell him you framed me for stealing the money from the pack.”

“Rhett doesn’t want you!” She laughs, but there is no humor in it as she finally gets what I am telling her.. “He doesn’t have to want me, but he marked me, and now his bond is nagging him to mate me. So I wonder how he’ll take the news that he banished his mate for his whore who lied to him.”
Bianca’s face twists with hatred so strong I know this time I’ve pushed her too far and that she’ll go for the kill.
“You fucking cunt!” she snarls, stalking over to me, her claws extended and I smile, feeling my hand slick with my blood slip free of the ropes.
