Chapter 55

God, this is so frustrating. The words on the papers are completely ineligible and it’s all I can do to look at them blankly. In the two hours I’ve spent in here, I’ve literally gotten no work done. Nada. All I can think about is Langdon’s

last report on Winter. Was she really not eating or doing anything? Or was he just trying to wind me up? I know that

he doesn’t care for the way I’m treating Winter but as the Beta, he needs to obey my will, even if he doesn’t want to. I ignore the guilt that’s eating inside of me that tells me I shouldn’t be treating a friend this way.

Just go and talk to her. Stop being such a coward, my wolf growls in my head and I pointedly ignore him. He

might have readily accepted Winter as our mate, but I’m still hesitant. Besides, she was doing fine, wasn’t she? Langdon was probably exaggerating. Bastard that he is. It couldn’t really be that bad, could it? Now I’m hesitating and wondering if I should contact him again. Damnit.

Oh god no. The familiar scent of a sickening perfume permeates through the air. She’s the last person I want to

see right now. I’ve been avoiding her like the plague and readily handing my credit card over, in an attempt to avoid her as much as I possibly can. I brace myself as the door bursts open and she comes sailing in. I stared at her in shock. What on earth is she thinking? Especially dressing like that? It’s beyond ridiculous. God, does she not look in

the mirror?

For once, instead of being turned on by her outfit, I felt repulsed by it instead. Candice has dressed herself in a large coat which she’s peeled off, to expose herself in a red racy baby doll and matching g-string and suspenders. Usually my c**k would twitch and I’d get all excited seeing her like that, knowing exactly what it is she’s after, even as my wolf blocked himself in my mind so he wouldn’t have to see or hear anything. Her hair is in curls down her back and she’s taken special care with her make-up as well. But it’s all too much, all too painfully obvious that she’s over trying it. Or had she been like this all the time and I just hadn’t noticed? Surely I wasn’t that blind? Was I?

“Hello handsome” she purrs and I cringe. Her voice sounds sugary sweet and completely fake to me. My Wolf is in full agreement. It’s also extremely annoying and whiney. It’s actually grating on my nerves.

“Candice” I said shortly, “now is not a good time” | added, pointedly looking at her ensemble with disdain. Her face contorts into a shocked expression, before she hastily replaces it with a large smile. All I want is for her to leave, before I say something I regret. Or do something. But she doesn’t seem to get the hint.
