KEIRA:Tate had been throwing me glances the moment we arrived at the packhouse. At first, it was fine, but the next time, it was already irritating. 'What's your problem, huh? You're making me feel as if there is something wrong,' I muttered when I could no longer take it. We were already stepping out of the car. Tate chuckled. 'Nothing, doll.'I don't think it was anything. The moment I awakened (with the alpha beside me sleeping also), he had been looking at me now and then. His eyes told me he wanted to say something, but he could not. Or refused to say it. Can I say he was getting weird? Yes, I can.Alpha Lennox was already ahead of us while the beta and I were talking through our links. Tate gave me a knowing smile. 'Spit it out, Tate.''Hey. There is nothing I say. Everything is well, okay?' He said there was nothing, but his eyes were full of mischief.'Did something happen when I fell asleep? Is there something I need to know?'Dang.I was suddenly curious about what hap
KEIRA:My head felt like it was spinning as Lennox's words continued ringing in my mind.I love you. I love you. I love you.Lennox loved me? W-why would he love me?When I glanced up, Lennox was wearing the sweetest smile he could ever muster.Fake.Oh, Moon Goddess. How could I believe that he loved me for a minute? What an embarrassment. Do you think it's real? Everything was a front. Lennox did not love you. Face the reality!"What would you say, Keira?" Alpha John asked with a hopeful look. “Your husband just said that he loved you. Isn’t it sweet?”It would be sweet as honey if those words were real."What would I say, then?" I asked. “What would you say if someone confessed?”Alpha John stiffened. “My son did not tell you he loved you before?”Alpha Lennox inhaled sharply.‘Respond to my declaration of love, Keira. Before the old man will think of something else.’“No, Dad! Lennox has told me a lot of times how much he loves me.” Gulping, I faced Alpha Lennox and grabbed h
I did not know what was running on Alpha John’s mind. I did not know if he was pranking us, but me kissing Alpha Lennox? I licked my lips and was suddenly reminded of our first kiss when we got married. It was our only kiss.My eyes darted to Lennox's full lips.Being kissed by the alpha was something I looked forward to from the bottom of my heart.Pathetic wasn’t it?He would only kiss me when the situation asked for it.Besides, I did not think the alpha would do it.Kissing me in front of the guest when we got married was not a problem, but kissing me again in front of his father was something I doubted he would do. We could always think of alibis. I knew it. He could not stomach kissing me especially if someone was looking. Was he that disgusted?I inwardly shook my head. Whatever. When Alpha Lennox did not move, I muttered, “Dad, we are embarrassing Lennox. He is not fond of showing his affections in public." I leaned on him and rested my hands on his broad chest. He still
KEIRA:'Where are you now?' I asked Tate when nightfall came. It was already nine o’clock in the evening. Alpha Lennox hasn't returned to his room. I was waiting for him to tell him Tate and I will have our “friendly date”, but he did not come. Maybe he was out to do some important duties.The best thing was to reach him through our mind link, but I did not want to do it. It was his fault if he didn't come back.As long as I am happy tonight.I call it distressing after our accident. Tate and I will be drinking as we agreed. Whether Alpha Lennox will know about this or not, our drinking session will push through. Alpha Lennox? He did not care anyway about what I would do with my life. Besides, it was none of his concern whether what happened to me. 'I'm done patrolling the area. Where do you want to meet?'I looked around. Hmmm.Outside the packhouse was better. The air was fresh and there was a small cottage with a library on it. Back then, all I could do was look at that cottage
ALPHA LENNOX:‘Kill! Kill! Kill!’ my wolf demanded.My body trembled while my palms balled into fists. The intense anger coming from inside was so strong that I almost gave in to my wolf’s desire—the beta’s life.‘Kill!’ he demanded again. ‘No one touches my mate.’‘No!’ I retorted.Keira was smiling at me, oblivious to the conflict I was battling inside. She was still glued to my beta like a leech and the more seconds passed, the more my beast demanded the beta’s life.I was on the verge of shitting on all fours. Inhale. Exhale.A furious beast was not something I wanted to experience. Its anger felt like mine. ‘Kill! Kill!’My heart pounded wildly against my ribcage.I no longer knew which emotions were mine. This raw anger caught me breathless. My eyes darted to the woman’s hands on the beta’s neck.Another growl escaped from my lips.‘Kill.’“Stay. Away,” I ordered. Even my voice was beastly.What was happening to me? Why was my heart pounding wildly as I watched Keira on the
KEIRA:I knew what the alpha was thinking. That this was nothing but drunk talk. That tomorrow morning I will forget every word I have said.It won’t.I may be tipsy, but I was already sober when I vomited earlier. Alpha Lennox kept on insisting I was drunk.I was not. Not anymore.His brows formed a straight line.“You are indeed drunk. Keira.”“I am no longer drunk, Lennox,” I insisted. I strolled toward him, but he stepped back as if he did not want me to touch him.Blatant rejection. Again. Like the previous years he rejected me.Call it foolishness, but it did not make me lose my confidence. Maybe it was because of the alcohol. “I am here. I am your wife.”“In the paper. Just…stay away from me, Keira.”My heart fell.To say I was disappointed was an understatement. “Why?” Another step. “Are you that repulsive to see me?”One moment he was confused, another moment something clicked inside him. “Do you want to seduce me, Keira?”Yes! Yes! I wanted to seduce you, but my body was
KEIRA:Malik.Did he know the alpha’s number? And what kind of conversation will they talk about? What kind of urgent topic will they talk about that forced Malik to reach out to the alpha? The last thing I remembered, Malik seemed to hate the alpha because of his sister.Did Zoe know about this or not?My curiosity was killing me.I wanted to talk to him and asked him about the two. Alpha Lennox wouldn't tell me the real score between Zoe and him. However, talking to Malik will give me the answer I badly needed. I was about to browse the other messages but froze when I heard hurried footsteps.My heart pounded against my chest.Lennox is coming! Why does it have to be now? I need to check something!Drop the phone now, Keira!As fast as my hands could move, I put the phone on the bedside table and straightened myself.After a couple of seconds, the door burst open. Lennox was breathing hard. Acting as if I just opened my eyes, I saw Lennox with furrowed brows. “Is there something w
KEIRA:Lennox and I had our staring contest. No one wanted to back down. I did not have any plans to. Not until I got a response from Alpha Lennox. Tension flew between us. The air became heavy and Alpha Lennox seemed to know what I was feeling right now. He was choosing the words he would say. Something he should do because if it happened I didn't even like it, he will pay for it. Not wanting to be in between, Tate slowly retreated as if he did not want to do anything with the two of us. “Oh, oh. I’m out of here, Alpha Lennox. Doll. You can talk as much as you want. I'm out of here.”Before I could answer, Tate hurried away as if we would be killing him if he did not want to be killed. 'Chill, doll. Whatever you are thinking right now, do not do it,' Tate suddenly said through our link. He's going inside the packhouse. Not even glancing at us. "Now that we are only here, can you talk now? Are you ready to explain, Lennox?He did not answer. His body was already dried from th
