All Chapters of Tryst Of Fate: Caught Between The Alpha And Beta: Chapter 41 - Chapter 46

Kaden I stand outside my office for a minute wondering what the hell just happened. Not that I should be surprised since most of our interactions end with her handing me my ass. She has this way of doing it so I don’t even realize she bested me until she’s long gone. She’s unlike any woman I’ve ever met and I kinda love it. Shaking my head, I enter my office, intent on solving the “garbage’ mystery. I have a housekeeper to take out the trash, not that there’s ever much of it at the end of the day. But as soon as I cross the threshold, I see what she means. I take in Ana, sitting naked at my desk, a sight that should infuriate me. But all I can do is chuckle in appreciation of my mate’s sassy little spirit. She would have been totally justified in running from this room in tears. Instead, she held her head high, and delivered a beat down with her very smart mouth. But that moment of amusement passes quickly, replaced with white-hot rage. I thunder toward the devious little bitch,

Declan “You want to tell me why the fuck our mate was packing her bags to leave tonight?” I round on Kaden as soon as we leave Olivia’s room. “Yeah, but it’s a long story and you’ll probably want a drink.” He looks drained and his tone is weary. It’s that alone that keeps me from jumping down his throat, silently following him to his office instead. He walks straight to the sideboard and pours us each a finger of whiskey. After handing me a glass, he sinks into the chair across from me with a groan that tells me more than any words could. In the wake of my injury, my best friend has been carrying the weight alone, and I can’t let him do that anymore. “Ana was here again today. Olivia walked in on her, found her sitting at my desk, naked.” He drops his head into his hands, exasperated. “I nearly fired the housekeeper for letting her in last time but she promised me it wouldn’t happen again.”. “We’ll deal with the house staff. What I want to know is what she said to my mate!” I

Kaden I push back from my desk with a frustrated groan, rubbing my sore, tired eyes. I’ve been up all night, looking for any information that might explain what Ana and her father are up to. But it’s hard to focus when I can’t stop thinking about my mate. With every passing day, it gets harder not to hold her, touch her, show her how much I need her. Every day without her forgiveness is a dagger to my heart, and it’s been so long, I’m bleeding out on this old ugly-ass rug. Then there’s the permanent hard-on I’m walking around with lately. My body literally aches for her, my muscles sore like I went a few rounds with a heavy weight champ and lost. Badly. It makes me sick to my stomach to think how she must have felt all these years, rejected and separated from her mates. Not to mention the pain of all our affairs. Every one of them unfulfilling, meaningless, and in no way worth the suffering we put her through. “Fuck!” I throw my blank notepad across the room, more evidence of my
