Chapter 207

BEATRICE

Beatrice ate another cookie, chewing slowly to give herself a few extra seconds to get her thoughts back on track. “Well. Hendricks is a grade A douche it’s possible he’s already gotten the worst punishment he could get.”

“What do you mean?,” Claire demanded. “You can’t seriously think he should be let go or whatever, right? Right? Not after everything he put you throu

“What? I never said that. Chill the fuck out, Claire. Geeze.” Beatrice gave her friend a look that questioned the blond’s sanity. “All I’m saying is there’s nothing I could do that would come close to what he’s currently suffering. And death would be a mercy, which he shouldn’t be given, so whatever happi

to him moving forward is kind of irrelevant to me.”

“I don’t understand,” Donovan grumbled. “You aren’t making any sense.”

Beatrice let out a frustrated noise. “I’m pretty sure Hendricks no longer has a wolf.”

The Alpha’s eyes grew wide as he stared at her in silence.

“What’s that even mean?,” Claire inquired. “He’s currently in his wolf form so shouldn’t it be the opposite?”

“No,” Donovan answered, speaking slowly. “I never thought… he’s an Alpha, so being rejected shouldn’t have caused his wolf to…” His eyes narrowed as

stared at Beatrice. “Just what are you?”

Beatrice threw her hands in the air. “I’m a human. Always have been, always will be. Get over it already and just say whatever you were gonna say.”

“When mates are of different ranks, it’s possible for the lower rank wolf to suffer more when rejected – sometimes going so far as losing their wolf To

an Alpha lose his wolf…”

“Or, maybe Hendricks spent who knows how long fighting with his wolf, to the point only a nudge was needing to push things over the edge,” Beatrice

offered. “Do not go painting me as some high ranked anything or so help me, I will scream.”

A smiled tugged at the corners of the Alpha’s mouth but he held it at bay. Barely. “Alright, alright. I get it. Not another word. Regardless, if he

wolf, death would definitely be a mercy. What do you have in mind as an alternative?”

“Since he’s no longer a wolf or… whatever,” Beatrice began, unsure how to classity what a wolfless wolf would be, espes sally when he was currently refug to shift out of his wolf form, “I guess he could be considered a human at this point, right? How would you push P

Beatrice narrowed her eyes: “Why? What’s so surprising?”

“You strike me as the type to, well… go scorched earth. You’re being very understanding. It’s just weird.”

“Bea was in therapy for a few years, Claire offered, earning a glare from her friend. “If you ever meet her mom, you’ll get it. There’s no point beating a dead horse – or wolf – once you’ve won. It just comes back to bite you in the ass later as one big, toxic circle. Being the bigger person keeps retaliations to a

minimum.”

“You do know he’ll never be released, right? He won’t darken your door ever again.” Donovan assured them, his frown deepening.

“They thought that about Riaghaire,” Beatrice laughed, looking over at the vampire. “But here he is. Rree.”
