Chapter 60

Dean pov.

"We would urge you to give it a rethink", Ares says as we watch Sabrina leave. I glare at him.

" Is there no other way?"Lorenzo asked in a collected voice, ignoring the fact that Sabrina just insulted me.

Ares shakes his head. "The hybrid seems brutal. Maybe our men can kill him but how many men would we send before we kill him?"

Lorenzo nods. "We will do a rough calculation. Have you visited the people who were killed?" He asked.

Ares shakes his head "I tried. They are requesting for their Alpha" he says drawing my attention.

I nod absentmindedly. The door opens revealing a guard. He walks inside and drops a note on my table before leaving.

A surge of anger rushed through me as I stared at the name who delivered the letter. It came from Finn.

I opened it and began to read it "It has come to my notice that you have a hybrid lurking around. Please endeavor to keep my mate safe or what happened with your mother will be the tip of an iceberg" it read.

Anger surged within me. Who did he think he was to threaten me with all the things in the world after my mother's death? When he knows he is fully responsible for it.

Did he think that I was some weakling that he could just offend and get away with it? He did not bother to negotiate, just started dashing out orders.

No. In fact, I refuse to let Lia go with him. I would rather kill him than let him take Lia. He made me motherless. I would make him Mateless. If it gets worse, I would make Luca convince her to reject him.

"Alpha what do you think? Should we send for Sabrina?" Ares asked again.

My jaw clenched as I glared at him. What was his problem? "I said no witches! This meeting is over!" I shouted, stamping my hand on the table.

Everyone flinched at my outburst. They stood up and bowed before leaving.

Immediately they closed the door. Lorenzo began to shout, making an irritating noise in my ear. "What was the meaning of that?" he asked. Clearly angry.

I sighed. In Times like this, I wished to be left alone. I threw the letter at him and he read it. Its face softened for a while.

"How would he bring your mother's death to the topic?" He asked in an angry tone.

"I don't know. How can he be so immature?"I asked, anger rolling out with my words.

"We have to call liars," he said.

A few minutes later I walked in with a stony face. Seriously, does she always have to be frowning or have a stony face.

It would make her look more old than the way she is. I don't know what Luca sees in her or what my father saw in her that made him decide she would be my wife.

She took a seat beside me and crossed her chest. "Why did you call me?" she asked.

I closed my eyes to call on patience. She did not even address me as her Alpha. In Times like this I wish she was not so important, getting rid of her would have been easier.

Here I was trying to find a solution for us and she sat there playing away my time being unnecessarily rude.

"He is your Alpha!" Lorenzo shouted at her. He obviously noted the fact that she did not bother greeting me or even bowing.

My cousin is seriously making this girl audacious.

"And he is my husband," she said as if we did not know about that.

Lorenzo took in a shaky breath "You are meant to greet or at least bow" he said in a calm voice. It was obvious that he was trying to control his temper.

She smiled, "yeah, I will try and remember next time," she said. Meaning, I would not remember.

"I want you to go with Finn when he comes," I said.

Her jaw dropped and I could feel Lorenzo's eyes burning into my skin. This was not what we had planned.

"What?. I am not going with him" she said with a glaring face. She squirmed on her chair.

"You are going" I ordered.

"I am not going," she replied, staring at me into my eyes.

"I am your husband", I reminded her. She rolled her eyes like she seriously rolled her eyes. What audacity!

She scoffed "That's a title. You do not order me," she said and tried to stand up

"You do not walk away from me lia!" I shouted my voice echoing around the house. She flinched a bit. A glint of fear passed through her eyes.

She leaned towards my side and pointed a hand at me. "Last month I would have been scared. I would have done as you said because I felt you are a man you had what it took to be an Alpha but after the night when you tried to rape me. I now see you as a weakling and not my Alpha!" She said her voice was cold as steel.

Something warm moved within my body. How did one night destroy her respect for me?

She made to walk away but I drew her back. "Your godforsaken mate killed my mothers and even sent threats to me. You would go with him and kill his sister too. An eye for an eye. I am sending you as your husband and Alpha" I ordered.

A light chuckle left her mouth, and the door opened revealing Luca. He walked in, his jaw tightened seeing me with Lia.

"Never!" She said and left.

She walked towards the door and stopped "And lest I forget. I would be asking for a divorce" she said
