Chapter 0192
She was just as I expected. Another creature who thought herself superior to others because she walked on two legs.
I scoffed at her hateful face.
Pathetic. Weak old bitch. Sub–par species. Holier–than–thou, lying piece of-
“Please go inside, mom. I’m coming.”
The sound of Jane’s calm voice shut my wolf up.
Wait, was she being polite because of me? I wanted to tell her to feel free to lash out at the woman. I wouldn’t judge.
“Who’s he?” Her mother asked, making sure I heard.
“Someone from work. Reigns Group. He’s with the project. Now, please go.”
Mrs. Brown left hesitantly, but didn’t go inside. She went to wait by the door.
“Sara took me hunting this evening,” Jane began, gauging my reaction as she said the word hunting.
There was no killing though. I could tell because rather than the smell of blood, all I could pick up was that f*cking euphoric scent of honeysuckle and peaches. The girl’s distinct, enthralling natural fragrance.
Maybe it was masking every other smell around.
“I met Mr. Reign. Your boss,” she went on.
Where was she going with this? Did she tell Sara about us?
“You and him are quite similar, you know.”
Yeah, I know. And?
“Sara wanted me to kill our dinner. Also, your friend said something about rousing a wolf?”
He also said something about stealing you from your boyfriend. I heard. Get to the damn point.
“How did you know about my parents? How did you know that my sleepwalking happens at specific times during the month? Tell me and I’ll go to your big house like you asked.”

Oh, a negotiation?
I lost my patience.
“I’ll see you at home, Jane,” I said simply, then signalled for the driver to get going.
This was not the place to talk anyway. Her curiosity was deeply stirred, so she should meet
me where I wanted.
As the cab guy restarted the car, I watched the look on her face. It was similar to Saturday’s when she tried to pull this same trick.
Negotiating?
It was time she learned that I didn’t have time for games.
I kept my eyes on her as the driver did the u–turn and started to speed away. The confusion in her eyes had now turned into pure annoyance.
My phone trembled fiercely in my hand. I thought it was her, but it was Nasir. We had just zoomed past the SUV he came with.
“Yes?” I spoke into the phone.
“So is she coming with me, beta? Do I wait?” He asked.
I tightened my lips, stiffling the urge to go on a rant. It didn’t work.
“What the hell does she think this is? A game? Just cuz Mister I–scent–like–royalty wants to
take her out for coffee does NOT mean he can help her like I can!
I’m gonna teach her that she is not in a position to negotiate ANYTHING. She needs MY help!
You know what, let me go back and tell her that. Turn around,” I said to the driver, then hung
- up.
Moments later, I was back across the street from the small house. She was already climbing up her porch to head inside.
‘Janet,‘ I called into her mind.
As expected, she turned around immediately.
She hears me well.
The thought gave me a weird rush. I felt the thrill in my heart and stomach as I stared at her.

Of course, she heard me. Even though she had no concept of mindlinking at the moment. No doubt, she thought I had spoken out loud when I called her name.
She stood with one hand on her waist, glaring at me when I mouthed,
“Come here.”
It seemed like she would refuse, but she stomped forward, crossing over to meet me.
“Change your mind?” She asked in a sarcastic tone. Her eyes glimmered as she waited for me to respond.
What did I come back to say?
“Let’s go do what you and Sara intended,” I shrugged, rising from the car.
“What? Hunting for dinner?” The sarcasm was gone.
“Yeah.”
“Why? Why do I have to kill?” Her tone was serious.
Jet already blabbered about a few things. What she needed right now was answers. I would give it to her. But would it render their silly lunch date unnecessary?
“Because,” I replied calmly. “It’s the only way to awaken your other half. She seeks to come out.”
To meet me.
“My other half,” she repeated gently, her eyes, distant.
“Is that the same as the wolf Jet mentioned?”
I nodded, “Yes.”
