Chapter Ninety–One
I let her words settle, and I knew she was right. Brandon would come for me if he was rejected, so I had to keep my distance until I figured out everything else out that I needed to so that my mom and I could leave. And I had to concede that she was also right about the strawberry shampoo. It had become my signature smell since grade school. So much so that Shannon used it, even though her wolf hated it.
“You’re right.” I grabbed the bag and left my room. Once my mom came outside, I locked the door and we headed to the garage. “You will help me find a smell my wolf likes?
“Of course.” She nodded as I tossed out the bag of toiletries. “Amy, I was wondering. Has there been anything weird about Nix you wanted to talk about?” I froze for a second, but shook it off.
For a second, it sounded like my mother knew about Megan but that was impossible. It had to be. “Like what?”
“Well, she is very dominant. But how does she look?” My mom smiled at me as I slid into my seat.
“She is huge. And black.”
“I noticed the colour. You must have inherited it from your father.” She smiled for a second before it fell. “But what else?”
“She has her golden eyes.” I looked over at ber. “I can show you when we get home if you want.
My mom perked up at that. “Yes! Can we go for a run, just the two of us?”
“You never go for a run, mum.” I backed out of the garage and headed toward the mall.
“That’s because no one here could keep up with me.” I barely heard her say. But she just shook her head and stayed quiet.
We made our way to the mall, and the first stop was the dry cleaner. We walked in with our arms full of clothes and just stopped. What are the fucking chances? “Hello ladies, what are you two doing here?” Vince’s voice called out, and I wanted to shiver. But I realized I could use this chance meeting to my benefit. Vince had a barely kept secret. And I was going to use it to my advantage to get something I wanted without raising any red flags.
I quickly adjusted my tone and temper. I lifted my lip and called out. “Dropping off my tainted clothes, hopefully we will save them, or they will go in the trash.” I turned back to my mother who had hidden her face in the bag of clothes she was carrying. “Do you really think they’ll be able to remove her stink?”
“Her stink?” Vince stepped over to us. “Whose stink?”
I rolled my eyes and turned to face him. “Alpha Vince. You told me yourself that Shannon has admitted to using my clothing. So much so that your son thought I was his mate. Now I don’t know about you, but my wolf doesn’t like the idea of someone else, especially Shannon, rolling around in her things.”
Vince stared at me for a few seconds before he nodded slowly. ”
doesn’t relish the thought.” He looked down
at the bags. “So you’re washing all of your stuff to get her scent off of it all.”
I nodded. “I don’t want there to be any more confusion. Plus, Nix is repulsed by using the same things Shannon used to trick your son.
My mother huffed. “Yes Amy, I am sure they will get the stench of her from your clothes.” She rolled her eyes. “I don’t understand what the big deal is. I already told you we can’t remove your carpet.”
Vince turned to me. “Your carpet. In your bedroom?”
“She walked on it. She probably laid in my bed, rubbing herself on my stuff, trying to smell like me. Do you she even started using my shampoo?” I let a growl work its way past my lips. “I don’t like it. And I shouldn’t have

to deal with another wolf using half my scent to charm someone else’s mate. Specially a lower, unranked wolf.” I lifted my lip in disgust as I looked at him. I saw the agreement in his eyes.
I knew who he was from my past life. His outlook on lower wolves was something I had to combat daily once we is something I had to combat daily once we took over the pack. I tried to be a caring, loving luna like my mother’s way. No matter the rank. Every day, I had to fight Vince’s prejudice. And I hated it, and him.
But now I could see the wheels turning in my mind. “There is a company that I use now and then.”
