Chapter 10 Doubling Down

“You both forget that she destroyed me first. I opened my heart to her. I gave up my whoring ways for her. I opened my pack to her, and she is trying to replace me with another alpha. Just like all the social climbing whore I slept with before her. She is trying to take everything from me. She came in here with all her money and took 60% of my business. Yes, she single-handedly turned them around, but I was there by her side and no one acknowledges that I worked just as hard as she did just because she had the money and power of the royals behind her. Yes, we all know she is pure-blooded, but that does not make her better than me. That does not give her the right to try to take my pack from me.” I yelled. “So there you have it.” Beta James said. “All of this is about jealousy and wounded pride. You knew who Zell was before you mated her. You knew her full bloodline because we grew up with her family. You knew she was a child prodigy because we were there while she was growing up. You know she would have graduated earlier than 16 if her father permitted it. You were the one who declared she was your mate a full 2 years before she could have scented you. She blindly trusted you. You were there when she completed a 4-year degree in two years. You knew all of this going into your mateship. You wanted all of her skills and money when the pack was failing. Before she could verify that you were indeed her fated mate, you mated her, and she worked herself to the bone to give you the pack you wanted. You have the nerve to be angry and jealous because she did what you asked her to do. Kosta, I don’t know who you are anymore. You are not the male I grew up with.” Beta James said, then walked out of my office.
