It was no surprise that, after such an intense confrontation, Dominic met with Patricia in secret that night.
"That boy is beginning to get on my nerves," Dominic thundered. "You should've seen him throwing his weight around in the meeting with the alphas."
"Tell me something," Patricia sighed, rubbing her temple. She added her own grievance. "The boy had the nerve to order his Beta to change all my staff in the pack house and replace them with his own people. When I dared to confront him, do you know what he said to me?"
Dominic didn't say a word, his expectant silence telling her to go on.
At once, Patricia's demeanor shifted; she lifted her chin and fixed Dominic with the same arrogant stare Asher was known for. She even dropped her voice, imitating him: "Henry's widow, why are you worried about the house staff? Shouldn't you be busy mourning my father?"
