Chapter 136

• “Slade, don’t, please,” I sent him a pleading stare, my hands resting on his lap to calm him. I could feel his wolf’s restlessness, his anger, and the way the atmosphere grew tense with each passing second. He glared at his father, but Alpha Hance did not return the favor, instead, he continued speaking.
• “At the time I did that, I wouldn’t even deny that I thought she was going to jump to the offer, but I may have misjudged your mate,” he looked at me for the first time since he started speaking on the topic “Many maidens would have jumped at the offer. An opportunity to have as much as they wanted and live the life of their dreams. But your mate refused. She loves this child, and she sees Dark Wolf as home,” he paused and reverted his eyes back to his son but Slade’s anger hadn’t deflated at all.
• “It was a test,” Alpha Hance continued “I wanted to see what she would do, but I don’t deny that if she had accepted the offer, then I would have given her the money and saved you a life away from a gold digger. I would have saved my grandchild from a mother that didn’t care about anything but her own selfish needs. She surprised me, Slade. She rejected my offer. On the spot must I add,” he shook his head “I didn’t think women like her still exists, but she surprised me. More than I even imagined,”
