“It’s just a truck, Everly. If you want it back, you know what you have to do.”
Her jaw clenches, and she turns to look back at me. My stomach sinks when I see her eyes teary like she is fighting the urge to cry. It was just a truck and an old one at that. It wasn’t even new, why she would get so emotional over that old thing was beyond me.
“You have no right,” she snarls.
“Maybe you forget who I am; I have every right. I own this city, and I say what happens in it, Everly. The sooner you realize that the better it will be for you. I could give you everything you ever wanted.”
“Not everything, Valen. You can’t give me the last five years of my life back,” she says, shoving me away, and I let her.
“If you haven’t figured it out yet, Valen, I don’t care for your social status or your money; I make my own, I don’t need yours, and I certainly don’t want it.”
“I can make your life miserable, Everly,” I say, not backing down.

Everly laughs, which startles me; a threat from the blood Alpha isn’t to be taken lightly. She’s clearly not stupid, she knows I am capable of destroying her and those that work for her. I could have her hotel torn to the ground, and no one. would bat an eyelash at what I did, especially for some rogue girl.
“Do your worst, Valen. Don’t forget my reputation as a rogue is minuscule compared to the reputation you have. Who do you think will suffer more when it’s tarnished? Certainly not me. They already think I am the lowest scum to reside in this city. Yet they still walk through those doors. They still visit my hotel. Miserable, you don’t know the meaning of the word, but you will. I will make sure of it.”
Everly says before turning on her heel about to cross the road.
My phone rings, and she glances at me as I pull it out to see the towing company name pop up on the screen.
“This would be about your car,” I tell her, and she turns to face me, folding her arms across her chest. I answer it putting it on speakerphone so she can hear.
“Alpha,” Dwayne states.
“Am I bringing it back? Should I take it back to the yard?”
“That is up to, Everly,” I tell him, raising an eyebrow at it. She glares at me. “What will it be, Everly?”

“Go fuck yourself, Alpha,” she sneers. Dwayne whistles at her
tone.
“Wow, so what would you like me to do?”
“Crush it,” I tell him, not taking my eyes from her. She takes a step toward me, and her hands clench before she closes her eyes tightly, breathing deeply.
“Alpha?” Dwayne asks.
“I said crush it, take it to the scrapyard and make sure it isn’t salvageable,” I tell him. Her eyes snap open, and I raise an eyebrow at her. Everly’s eyes burn with unshed tears, and she shakes her head, and I hang up.
“Could have been avoided,” I tell her.
“Yeah, if only I never met you, all of this could have been avoided,” she spits at me before turning on her heel and darting across the road. I notice Zoe and Macey waiting out the front for her, and she shakes her head when Macey reaches for her, swatting their hands away before chasing after her. I start driving off, heading home to plan my next move since this one was unsuccessful. I would have to think of another way. She would give in; it is only a matter of time.
I was halfway home, yet my thoughts kept going back to her. I needed to look into her background, find out more about her,

but I didn’t know her last name. I realize it should be on the hotel’s information. That might explain why she was so difficult and why she would be so upset by a car? I also want to know what she did to become a rogue since she wasn’t a rogue whore.
For some reason, I can’t forget the way her lip trembled when I said to crush her car. It makes me feel like an asshole. It made no sense she had enough money to buy another one; she owns a damn hotel, for goodness sake. There is no way in hell would I be caught dead in that old piece of junk. She should be thanking me for removing it; now she has reason to buy another. Suddenly, I blanch.
“Fuck, her car,” I say and swerve off to the side of the road., Pulling my phone out of my pocket, I quickly ring Dwayne back.
“Hello?” he says.
“Where are you?”
“Next door at the scrapyard, doing what you asked.”
“Don’t let them crush it.”
“What?”
“Please tell me they haven’t crushed it yet,” I say. “The car. Tell me you haven’t crushed the car.”

“Oh shit,” he says, and I hear banging around in his truck and the sound of a door being slammed before yelling for them to stop. My heart pounds in my chest while I wait for what seems like hours, praying it wasn’t destroyed.
I hear more banging before a rush of heavy breathing. Dwayne sounds like he had just run a marathon. He was a big guy and sounds like he is on the verge of a heart attack when he grabs the phone again.
“Yesh, that was close. Good thing you rang, another second, and it would have been crushed into a can.”
I let out a breath of relief while he tried to catch his, breathing heavily into the phone.
“What do you want me to do with it?” he asks, sounding more normal.
“Put it in my garage out of sight, cover it over. I don’t want my father seeing it if he stops over.”
“Rightio,” Dwayne answers, and I go to hang up when I hear his voice again. “Hey, Boss?”
“Yeah, what is it?”
“She is your mate isn’t she, I haven’t seen you try this hard to get a girl in a while, figured she must be special if you are

“Keep it between us; I don’t need my father knowing for now.“”
“Yeah, we all know he hates rogues, but by the look on her face when she spotted you, she hates Alphas more.”
I sigh, it did appear that way.
“Oh and you might want to have patrols sit around her perimeter, forsaken have been spotted multiple times the last couple weeks, that hotel backs onto the reserve, not a safe place right now, your dad pulled all the patrols away to focus on the pack’s perimeters only.”
I growl, feeling anger flush out my face. He had no authority to do that. Only Alphas did, and he no longer held the title.
“Thanks, I will handle it; I will get Marcus onto it straight away.””
