The Billionaire Alpha’s Contract Lover - Season 2 Episode 54

Jackson gazed over at Lena.

His voice was deadly calm as he spoke, a hint of his Alpha voice coming out.

“Miss Wilton, I brought my companion to your house as a guest, and you put your hands on her. Is this how you were brought up in your pack? Does the Wilton pack condone actions such as these?”

Seeing that Jackson had found out so quickly that she had hit Taya, Lena’s heart skipped a beat. But her anger quickly dispelled it.

He hadn’t even bothered to ask what had happened and was already defending Taya. This was too much!

Lena couldn’t hold back her temper anymore, and her wolf’s

hot–headedness rushed to the surface. “You didn’t even ask

who hit her before blaming me. Is the Sterling pack always so quick to rush to judgments?”

Jackson’s expression turned darker. “Are you saying that you did not put your hands on my woman?”

“Even if I did, you didn’t ask me why I would do so. Why would your a*sumption be that she didn’t deserve it?”

Jackson snorted. “I know Ms. Palmer very well. And there is nothing in her character that would warrant someone putting their hands on her.”

Lena hadn’t expected Jackson to defend his companion like that, to defend a human so readily over another wolf shifter. She was so angry that her face turned pale. “Jackson, how can you do this to me-”

***

Jackson wasn’t interested in Lena’s act.

He promptly cut her off. “Apologize to Ms. Palmer!”

Although Henry was his good friend, Lena meant nothing to

him. They had only met a few times, and there wasn’t any

history between them to make it necessary for him to treat

Lena with the respect it was clear she believed she deserved.

She might be a wolf and technically outrank Taya, but compared to Jackson, Lena was nothing. The Wilton pack might be wealthy, but they had no power. And they certainly didn’t wield the power the Sterling pack did. Frankly, they were lucky he had even come to this event.

Seeing that Jackson wouldn’t let her go until she apologized, Lena was so angry that she burst into tears. “Jackson, you’re bullying me!”

The she–wolf’s cry soon attracted the attention of the crowd. Most were holding gla*ses of wine laced with wolfsbane and standing aside to watch the show.

No one came forward to help Lena.

She quickly pointed at Taya. “She was the one who insulted

me in my own home. And she’s a human! I was so angry that 1 lost my mind and slapped her. I wouldn’t have done this if it

weren’t for her stirring up trouble. I didn’t do anything wrong!”
