Chapter 358
I hadn’t expected to find myself sharing a vulnerable moment with the most intimidating Alpha around, yet here I was, settling into a chair halfway down the long, oval table from him. The room was quiet except for the faint hum of distant voices outside. I exhaled slowly, trying to steady my scattered thoughts. I deliberately kept some distance between us—I wasn’t sure how he’d react to what I was about to reveal. “I do love her,” I began, my voice steady but low. “I’ve always loved her. She was my first in so many ways. I probably always will love her, in some form or another. But I’m not in love with her. There’s a huge difference between those feelings. Besides, I have my own mate to contend with—one who’s not interested in being my mate.” I leaned forward, resting my elbows on the table, rubbing my face as if trying to scrub away the chaos that my life had become.
He let out a chuckle, the kind that grated on my nerves. “It’s the female Alpha, isn’t it?” he said, amusement clear in his voice. Of course, this bastard was laughing at me now. “Figures—you’d need someone more complicated than Kennedy.”
“That she is,” I admitted, a bitter edge in my tone. “But I can’t blame her. Her elders, even her father’s team, don’t stand behind her. I think their Gamma is actually working against her.”
He raised an eyebrow. “Why haven’t you knocked him out yet?”
I shook my head. “I don’t have concrete proof. But the way he acts around her? It’s shady as hell. And if he ever threatened her, she wouldn’t need me to handle it—she’d take care of him herself.”
“Does anyone else know about this?” he asked.
