other issues. He’d finally had to snarl at her to shut the fuck up and listen
to him.
    “Give me your boss, you incompetent
idiot. Women like you give wolves a bad name.” She huffed, and he wanted to
hang up and go down there and beat the living shit out of her, but knew in his
current condition she’d hurt him more than he could her. When her boss, or what
she’d said was her boss, came on, Jeffery was in a vile mood.
    “Are there any men working in that
office?” She, a Miss Hoover, didn’t answer. “You do know what a man is, don’t
you? Your superior in all ways. The one that signs your paycheck?”
    He sat there for two minutes waiting for
someone else when his phone suddenly told him that if he wanted to make a call
to please hang up and dial again. He realized then that the fucking cunt had
hung up on him. He slammed the phone in the cradle only to snatch it up again
and snarl at the caller when it rang almost immediately. He was going to rip
the head off this person if it was the last thing he did.
    “You called here and needed information
on a trial,” the person started on the other end without much in the way of
introductions. “Well, you want it, then you do what everyone else does, come
down here and fill out the paperwork. We’ll try our best to get it back to you
within twenty-four to forty-eight hours.” The man at the other end was short
and pissed. Jeffery took a deep breath before he answered the man.
    “I was only upset because she didn’t
have the information I needed. This trial was about one of my pack members attacking
me, and she didn’t have a clue what I wanted or anything on that date. I just
want this finished because Sapphire is an alpha in her own right, though I have
no idea how true this is because she is only a female, but the injuries she
gave me are not healing. I’m sorry for my short fuse, but I do hurt a great
deal.” He could hear papers shuffling on his end and smiled. “Please tell Miss Hoover
that I’m not usually so mean to the working woman.”
    No, he was usually meaner if he noticed
them at all. When he heard the man mumble something about answering the phone
and dealing with idiots, Jeffery had to bite his tongue. Didn’t these people
know who he was? Apparently not.
    “The trial has been cancelled. Due to
her finding another alpha and being claimed by him. The paperwork filed an hour
ago claims that Sapphire Erickson and Blair Henson, Alpha have mated and bonded
so she is now your equal and no longer the subject of any investigation.” The
man laughed. “I guess you’re just shit out of luck today.”
    “That’s not right. She wasn’t my equal
when she hurt me.” He tried to think of dates of anything that would help him.
“She can’t have been claimed by Henson anyway. I want her for my own bitch.”
    “You’ll have to take that up with her
mate then. But you yourself said she was an alpha and would have been long before
she mated to Blair. You, as her first alpha, should have recognized that and
made arrangements to have her removed before you and she tangled.” The man
laughed again. “You must be more stupid than anyone here thinks you are.”
    The line went dead, and he was left with
nothing. Damn it all to hell, this wasn’t right and it wasn’t going his way.
Nothing was it seemed, and he was fucking sick of it. When the phone rang again,
he was still trying to think what to do when he simply picked it up without
checking to see who it was. It was the man from the Were offices again.
    “It would seem that we have a trial for
you, after all.” Relieved, he sat back as the man continued. “The date is set
for June the twenty-first at 7:45 in the morning. Can you be there?”
    “I will. What do I need to bring for
proof of what happened?” Jeffery picked up a pen and topped the sheet of paper
with “Cunts trial” and put down the numbers one through ten. “I’ve
pictures if you want them.”
    “That won’t be necessary.
