Chapter 42\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her fated mate was flaunting another woman around like that while treating her like trash.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It would drive anyone a little crazy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
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\u00a0<\/p>\n
And his feelings about Nolan? They sank even lower, though he hadn\u2019t thought he could hate his brother more than he already did.\u00a0<\/p>\n
What a cold-hearted bastard Nolan was, to treat his fated mate that way.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And it wasn\u2019t 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.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nolan had pulled his hand away and shot her a sharp look, but Felicity just pouted, like she thought she was being\u00a0<\/p>\n
cute.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lance really hated women like that.\u00a0<\/p>\n
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.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lance couldn\u2019t hide his reaction to Felicity anymore. He found himself glaring openly at her every time he saw her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was doing it right now.\u00a0<\/p>\n
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\u2019t tear his eyes away from Felicity.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If looks could kill, she\u2019d drop dead on the spot.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you have a problem?\u201d she asked, returning his glare.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you have an ounce of shame in your body?\u201d Lance responded sharply.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Felicity placed her hand on her chest in an exaggerated show of shock. \u201cExcuse me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re a real piece of work, you know what?\u201d Lance said with obvious irritation before he turned and walked toward the stairs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Felicity watched him go, her anger boiling beneath the surface,\u00a0<\/p>\n
This was all Ellie\u2019s fault. Somehow, she\u2019d managed to get lance wrapped around her finger. Felicity didn\u2019t know how, but it was the only explanation for his behavior.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She couldn\u2019t allow Ellie to do the same to Nolan. If she managed to turn him against Felicity, she\u2019d lose everything. She wasn\u2019t going to lose Nolan to anyone, especially not that rogue bitch.\u00a0<\/p>\n
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.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Felicity watched the beta walk away and finally spoke up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNolan, when are you going to be done working for the day\u201d Felicity asked, looking up at him with pleading eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Nolan glanced down at her coldly. \u201cLate. You know how busy I am.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut we hardly get to spend any time together,\u201d she whine.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019ve seen me every day for two weeks,\u201d Nolan replied with irritation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat doesn\u2019t count,\u201d she replied, her grip on his arm tightening. \u201cWhen\u2019s the last time we were alone?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nolan shook his head slightly and his shoulders slumped just a fraction. Felicity grinned, knowing that he was about to give in.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s been a while,\u201d he conceded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cToo long,\u201d she said. \u201cI just miss you, is that so wrong?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, of course not,\u201d he said with a sigh.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At that moment, Cassian and Lance walked by on their way to the front door. Felicity didn\u2019t miss the way they both glared at her angrily.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her own smile faltered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
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.\u00a0<\/p>\n
