Kenzie’s POV“But that’s not the only reason I flogger her to death.” I kept on. I had a more dangerous plan up my sleeve to quench whatever ‘pregnancy’ love Miles may have started to have for her.These days he took it easy on her unlike in times past when her mere presence irritated him.“Speak! You have no reason to take matters into your own hands! Why didn’t you report this to me? Are you trying to induce a miscarriage by stressing her? Witnessing the death of her maid is enough stress. She cared for these maids like her sisters!”He was rebuking me with so much zeal.“Your precious Luna mate is cheating on you. Last two weeks, I caught her in Brian’s quarters. They made sure to be quiet while at it…”“Shut it! You speak nonsense!”This time I was telling the truth. And from the frightened look on my sister’s face, she was angry with me for blowing her cover.“Dear sis, it’s common knowledge that you and Miles’ cousin are in love. You can’t help it even while carrying Miles’ chil
Kenzie’s POV“I’m coping,” he responded, looking hopeless; seeming lifeless.I gestured to Matt to excuse us.“He is gone. Is there something you want to say?” I bellowed. He gave me that look like I was his saviour. At this point, I was his only hope.I loved it when people had to beg me for stuff. I won’t hand out pearls to them so easily.“I know what I did was wrong. But I’d sincerely appreciate it if you could appeal to Alpha Miles on my behalf.”“Why should I beg for criminals?” I snorted.“I didn’t mean to send Joe to the frontline in battle. He was insistent on having my fated mate at all costs. You of all people will understand what I’m trying to say.”“What do you mean? Your situation is nothing like mine. You are in the wrong. Your fated mate already rejected you. Why go after her?”I recall vividly when his fated mate openly renounced him as her bond mate. She was“You’re the one who can’t accept rejection. She loves another. You shouldn’t have done what you did.”“The bat
Alpha Miles POVHere I was having a discussion with my daughter over Kenzie. Something I had never done.“Lately, your mum has been acting strange…”“Who is my mum? Dad, pls correct your noun. I don’t have a mother in that woman.”“Of recent, Kenzie had been acting strange following up to the incident of that eunuch.”“Are you suspecting she is in search of your cousin?”“Who knows, Saloni? Probably she wants to get with her fated mate now that she is bored of me. Things haven’t been so good between us lately.”“Dad, Kenzie won’t ever look for Brian just to threaten you. She possibly wants to be sure he is dead. Or make sure he is dead.”“In the first place, I framed him for Keith’s crime because that dude was a threat to me.”“You can have the witch followed. I’ve never trusted her one bit. She must be scheming and planning.”“I will do just that. I feel uncomfortable.”“She may just want to meet Brian and ensure he never bothers you.”“Or she may want to collude with my brother sinc
Alpha Miles POVFLASHBACK SETS IN“Brian! I caught a big catch!” I said holding out a bushmeat and galloping towards him. Only to meet him in the warm embrace of his young love.I smiled sheepishly at them. “At this rate, you’re going to lose to me. How could you be playing love in the middle of a competition? I’m sure you’re yet to catch any bushmeat.” I observed his neat surroundings with just the sitting of a young lady and a flask of food.“Come have a look cousin. My baby brought me my favourite food.” That was the first time Brian looked up at me. His eyes shone when he noticed the big rabbit in my hand. “That’s some good dinner.”“Hi.” His timid lover girl greeted me and I found her quite cute.“Won’t you convince my lazy cousin to hunt some meat before dusk?”“He already told me he has no interest in competing with you.” Came to her wise response.“Cousin, don’t shortchange yourself. You are entitled to the throne as much as I do.”“First off, I hate leading a pack or having t
Alpha Miles POVI thought I had shot at a rabbit. A bleeding human leg met my view. Smooth fair legs that didn’t hide its beauty.“What are you staring at?” The beautiful voice depicted anger.I jolted from my short reverie and helped her to sit on a large stump.“I brought some first aid. I’d go get them and treat your leg. I’m sorry. I was aiming at a rabbit.”“Be done with the apologies. First aid.” She shut me up.I came back running with first aid. After dressing her wound, I offered to take her with me.“As compensation, I’d like you to join us for dinner.”“Us? I see you came with your family. No thanks. I need to head home and prepare dinner. That lazy sister of mine won’t do anything except frolic with her infatuated object.”“I’d love to meet this sister of yours. Is she anything like you?”“Anything like me? How?”“Beautiful. Sharp-mouthed and brazen.”“Are you flattering me?”“What’s the name, young lady?”“I don’t think you’d be using my name anytime soon.”“I’m Miles.”“
Alpha Miles POV“Miles. Oh, dear Miles. I thought you were going hunting for a rabbit. Now you got a girl.” Brian teased me.Ambrose and Kenzie couldn’t help themselves from laughing. And I couldn’t stop myself from falling. Falling for my dream mate. I hoped she was the one by the time she clocked 18 in 8 months.There was something about her that made me realize she would be my wife. My perfect mate.“So, he is the Brian guy you’ve been crazy about? Nothing special about him anyway.” Kenzie joked. And we all laughed.Brian feigned anger. “Miles, your crush is not as beautiful as my girlfriend. At least, I’ve got a better pair of eyes than yours.”“Kenzie, have this rabbit thigh.” She offered laughing.Those were the jolly times.Everyone laughed and teased.Until the twin girls clocked 18 and there was a twist of mate.Both Biran and I didn’t know how to handle it.The confusion, suspicion and emotional roller coaster that came with it.I wanted Kenzie. Brian wanted Ambrose. But the
Alpha Miles POV It was Alpha Jerry’s daughter. Zara. She used to be my crush and secret admirer before Kenzie showed up. Though she was no threat to my fidelity status, a part of me wanted her. I couldn’t explain it. I guess it was the bad boy part of me. I didn’t want her in a forever-type-of-way. I wanted her for a night or two. Or more enough times to keep the flow going. But that would be mean of me. Once, I had contemplated marrying her out of pity or generosity. That was even more callous of me. Beautiful Zara deserved the best of men. Someone like Brian. A pity he was of low ambition and taken by Ambrose. Ambrose. Her name could even fan the flames in my heart. “I hope you don’t hold it against me that I’m Shadow Alpha.” “I don’t. I’m least interested in whoever becomes Alpha. I’m focused on my club.” “You own a club?” I popped my eyes in surprise. “I do. And I’d love for you to visit one of these days.” “Oh, sure. Kenzie and I will come by one of these days.” “Not w
Alpha Miles POV Only to meet Kenzie in a compromising position. Her bare body glistened in oil and sweet attraction. “Why are you naked?” My question seemed dumb enough to deserve a slap on my butt. “And why are you still wearing clothes?” She spanked me again on the butt. I pretended not to like what I saw to make her come to her senses. “You scared me with your text. I thought something bad had happened?” “An imaginary woman slumped. Not my mum.” “Why did you have to play such a trick to make me come here?” I rolled my eyes at her. “Because I might slump if you don’t do something bad to me.” She weighed and jiggled her boobs; leaving me no option but to stare at them. “Kenzie, we shouldn’t do this until the moon ceremony.” I fought for self-control, but it was waning by the second. “Shhhh! We should sleep with each other. That’d strengthen our relationship and weaken the bond we feel for our fated mates.” I agreed with her. Why didn’t I think of this? “What if it doesn’t
