Chapter 42
Her fated mate was flaunting another woman around like that while treating her like trash.
It would drive anyone a little crazy.
Lance felt like he understood Ellie a little better now, though he would deny that he felt anything stronger than pity for her. Still, his opinion of Felicity had hit rock bottom
And his feelings about Nolan? They sank even lower, though he hadn’t thought he could hate his brother more than he already did.
What a cold-hearted bastard Nolan was, to treat his fated mate that way.
And it wasn’t as though Felicity kept her behavior hidden when others were around, either. She would flirt and cling to Nolan even when he had business guests. Lance had even seen her trying to hold his hand when Alpha Alaric was in the room once.
Nolan had pulled his hand away and shot her a sharp look, but Felicity just pouted, like she thought she was being
cute.
Lance really hated women like that.
There was nothing wrong with a woman being ambitious and going after what she wanted, but hiding behind an innocent act at the same time was ridiculous. And the worst part was that it seemed to work on Nolan, which just made his big brother seem even more pathetic to him.
Lance couldn’t hide his reaction to Felicity anymore. He found himself glaring openly at her every time he saw her.
He was doing it right now.
Felicity was standing beside Nolan, pressing herself against his side and hanging onto his forearm while Nolan spoke to a beta about some meeting or something. Lance was waiting for Cassian to come downstairs, but he couldn’t tear his eyes away from Felicity.
If looks could kill, she’d drop dead on the spot.
“Do you have a problem?” she asked, returning his glare.
“Do you have an ounce of shame in your body?” Lance responded sharply.
Felicity placed her hand on her chest in an exaggerated show of shock. “Excuse me p>
“You’re a real piece of work, you know what?” Lance said with obvious irritation before he turned and walked toward the stairs.
Felicity watched him go, her anger boiling beneath the surface,
This was all Ellie’s fault. Somehow, she’d managed to get lance wrapped around her finger. Felicity didn’t know how, but it was the only explanation for his behavior.
She couldn’t allow Ellie to do the same to Nolan. If she managed to turn him against Felicity, she’d lose everything. She wasn’t going to lose Nolan to anyone, especially not that rogue bitch.
She was going to find a way to rid herself and Nolan of Ellie for good. And she was going to have to do it soon, before Ellie managed to get her claws into anyone else.
Felicity watched the beta walk away and finally spoke up.
“Nolan, when are you going to be done working for the day” Felicity asked, looking up at him with pleading eyes.

Nolan glanced down at her coldly. “Late. You know how busy I am p>
“But we hardly get to spend any time together,” she whine.
“You’ve seen me every day for two weeks,” Nolan replied with irritation.
“That doesn’t count,” she replied, her grip on his arm tightening. “When’s the last time we were alone p>
Nolan shook his head slightly and his shoulders slumped just a fraction. Felicity grinned, knowing that he was about to give in.
“It’s been a while,” he conceded.
“Too long,” she said. “I just miss you, is that so wrong p>
“No, of course not,” he said with a sigh.
At that moment, Cassian and Lance walked by on their way to the front door. Felicity didn’t miss the way they both glared at her angrily.
Her own smile faltered.
That just drove it home all the more. Ellie was slowly turning the entire packhouse against Felicity with her pathetic lies and sob stories. She had to get rid of Ellie, and
soon.
