The Genius Delta novel Chapter 33

I knew the second my fist connected with that bitch’s nose, and I would end up in hot water. This isn’t like being in Incubi, where I’d get in trouble for fighting outside training sessions. Fights were allowed even when not sparring partners as long as it happened during training sessions. I’m sure even if this hadn’t happened in the lobby of Silvercloud with multiple human witnesses, Logan would be pissed at me. He’d warned me before we left to keep my temper in check.

And I failed epically. Yet I don’t feel an ounce of remorse. Okay, that’s a lie. I felt some guilt when I saw Cillian’s face. I did punch and make his mate bleed. Even if she deserved it, he didn’t. Thankfully he doesn’t hold it against me. That was what worried me the most. I don’t care if Logan yells at me. He can’t outright punish me because I’m not Bloodmoon. If he wants to hand out a punishment, he’d need to get approval from Alec first.

When they get here, Alec could decide I need to be punished. Even if he is my Alpha, I’m not afraid of him or his stupid wolf. I know what Darkness is capable of, and he’s an ancient wolf spirit. So I’m a little afraid of Darkness, alright, I’m afraid of Darkness.

Yes, I know, the Bloodmoon wolf is an ancient and presumably powerful spirit, but not in the same way Darkness and Light are. They’ve hurt people in far worse ways than a mere punch for even speaking wrong to Crista. I’m hoping Alec and his wolves will see where I was coming from.

“How much trouble do you think I am in with HR?” I asked as we pulled up to the pack house.

“A lot.” Jonathan sighed. “Fights are taken seriously. And considering how many witnesses there were….” He shrugged as we climbed out of the car.

I grimaced as it finally settled into my mind that I was probably being let go from the program after two days. I frowned as I looked to the doors of the packhouse and saw Logan and Aurelia standing there like they were waiting for us. Shit, they already know. Did Jonathan tell them? Cillian maybe? Or did someone from Silvercloud report it up the chain, and Logan heard because he co-owns Kinsley?

“Persephone…” Logan growled. As his eyes narrowed, I saw them fluctuating from his natural blue to the red of his wolf.

Jonathan winced, lowering his head even if it wasn’t him his Alpha was angry with. I sighed and walked up the stairs till I was at eye level with the short Alpha. So I’m two steps down from him and his mate. Sure, some might consider this as me acting humble and conceding that Alpha and Luna are higher in the food chain. And I guess that’s partially true, but my true reason is that I want to look him in the eyes.

“I don’t need a lecture, Logan,” I said, not beating around the bush. “I had a father, and I know exactly what he would have said. And I have an Alpha and can guess what he will say too.”

“Oh, I know exactly what your Alpha had to say. I called him to let him know you got into a public fight with a potential spy with a few hundred human witnesses and will likely be kicked out of the summer program.” Logan snorted. “He’s not pleased with you, and neither is your sister. They have moved up their flight and will be here tomorrow with his son.”

That’s just great. My impulsive violent outburst has brought all the D’Amores coming early. Well, fuck my life. Though on the bright side, the sooner they get here, the sooner they can leave, and the sooner Jonathan and I can complete our bond and truly put Mila’s plans to an end.

“Sounds about right. Alec will show up, lecture me about my temper, and try to think of a punishment for me.” I shrugged. I hope I’m conveying a more casual front than I felt. While I’m pretty sure how things will go down when Alec gets here with his two wolves, especially Darkness, things could take a sudden turn.

“Then I’ll remind him he imprisoned and nearly killed someone for making threatening sexual advances on my sister, and that asshole didn’t even know yet she was his future Luna.” I outlined how I hoped things would go. “And I’ll get a lesser punishment because breaking that bitch’s nose pales to what he did to Santi.”

Logan rolled his eyes, folding his arms across his chest unamused. “You should take this more seriously. Beyond your internship, this could have a ripple effect we can’t foresee. She’s part of Demonclaw. We aren’t officially enemies with them, but we aren’t allies either. I am not looking to have a war started, at least not till I know what that bitch is up to.”

Aurelia sighed and placed her hand on Logan’s arm, and his posture changed. They have a strong bond. It only took her light touch to dial back his aggression from a 12, on a scale of 10, to a 1.

“Persephone, you’re a smart girl. I’m told your IQ rivals your mate’s. So us telling you the ramifications of your actions today is pointless. You’ve probably had the car ride home to think through all the scenarios.” Aurelia stated. While it did sound like she was buttering me up, I also didn’t detect any bullshit.

“I won’t apologize for what I did. I own it. Mila was warned to keep her hands off Jonathan. She was told we were mates. She chose to ignore those warnings we gave her this morning.” I shrugged. “Bitch got what was coming. She’s damn lucky I held back my wolf and only punched her. Sara wants to rip her to shreds.”
