Their Runaway Mate Read Free Page A

She stood up and turned to face both of them.
    “That’s it. You got me. I know you both are rich and I think you are cheapskates trying to rip me off.”
    Drew stood as well and just gaped at her for a moment. It wasn’t true, damn, they paid her way more than anyone could really expect. Especially, since they let her live in their mansion and took care of everything for her. She’d always felt guilty about it every time she received her paycheck.
    Then he glared at her, good, angry Drew she could deal with, hurt Drew, not so much.
    “Okay, fine. Leave then. Let us know where you end up and we’ll send your final paycheck there,” said Drew angrily.
    Anna was stunned for a moment, but then she heard Carter practically bellow, “No.”
    Both her and Drew looked at him in shock.
    “She is not leaving this house. We did not spend so long searching for her to let her just walk out the door. I don’t care if she is a selfish, cold-hearted bitch. We brought her here for a purpose.”
    Okay, that was unexpected, a bit hurtful, and confusing as hell.
    “I’m quite sure you can find another accountant to suit your needs.” Anna couldn’t help but glower at them both.
    Carter just laughed coldly. “You think we brought you here to take care of our accounts? You are just out of college and have no real accounting experience. Why would we hire you?”
    Man, this guy knows how to dig deep. Anna couldn’t help the tear that fell down her cheek.
    “I’ve been asking myself that since I started,” she answered truthfully.
    He just smirked, “The first honest thing you’ve said so far.”
    Anna couldn’t help it anymore, this man was really pissing her off, she just snapped, “Fuck you, asshole!”
    The moment her hand met his cheek the room fell under a dead silence. Her other hand flew to her mouth in shock and her eyes felt like they were going to fly out of their sockets.
    Drew looked from her to Carter and back again, while Anna waited for Carter’s reaction. Almost instantly, he grabbed her by the arm and began to drag her out of the room. Anna fought but then stopped as she realized he was probably kicking her out as she’d wanted. However, then he took a completely different direction and started marching up the stairs. Anna started fighting again, fear coursing through her body.
    “Stop, where are you taking me?” She yelled.
    “I am taking you to your room. Where you’ll stay until you learn to grow up,” Carter growled back.
    Drew followed on her heels. “Carter, calm down. We don’t need to do this.”
    They’d reached her door and Carter had flung her onto her bed before he turned to address his lover. “Do what? Put up with this insolent brat because she’s our only means of ever having a family?”
    Anna sat there shocked. Did that mean what she thought it meant? Did they just hire her to give them children? Nothing was making sense now.
    “No, we don’t have to be cruel to her and not give her a choice in the matter,” Drew spat back.
    “You were the one who wanted to find her so badly. I was fine with it just being us,” Carter’s voice had reached new octaves by this time. “Now you want to give her the choice of walking out on us, and taking our chance at pups with her?”
    Wait, pups? What?
    Drew gave Carter a withering stare, “Carter, watch what you say in front of her.”
    “No, I will not watch what I say. In fact, I think we should just show her now. Let her decide after that if she wants to run off and blab to the known world about our existence, while she is taking away our heirs.”
    “Carter, you are being a belligerent idiot right now and I think you need to just calm down.”
    Anna sat, in stunned silence, as Drew went to pull Carter from the room, but Carter pulled away and suddenly began to shake all over. Anna heard the sound of bones cracking and clothes ripping as she watched Carter’s body begin to reshape itself, until finally a large black dog sat in front of
