Werewolf

Touch Her And Burn

by Lynette Woods

On the day of my engagement party, my mother and I were sitting in the car waiting for the driver when my fiance's secretary suddenly sent me a video.In it, she had a middle-aged she-wolf by the hair, slapping her across the face again and again. "Selena, you gold-digging trash! Did you really think pretending to be some high-society socialite and getting engaged to Alpha Declan meant your mother could sneak into his house and steal?"Another slap landed.The woman's face was already grotesquely swollen."Typical backwoods behavior. Always grabbing at things that don't belong to you. As Declan's secretary, I'm handling this filthy thief on his behalf."I slowly lowered my phone.Beside me, my mother was adjusting her necklace in her compact mirror.When she noticed me looking at her, she smiled and patted my hand. "Thorncrown Pack may be an absolute disaster when it comes to business, darling, but Declan is very handsome. Once the alliance is official, your father and I can help straighten things out."Frowning, I replayed the video.The sharp cheekbones. The immaculate chignon. And the mole on her ear.Oh my God. That was my future mother-in-law!I immediately called back. "Vanessa, do you have any idea what a complete idiot you are? That's Declan's mother!"She let out a vicious laugh. "Oh, please. Declan already told me all about you. Some nobody his father forced him to marry. ""He doesn't even care about you, so why would he give a damn about your relatives?"
