Kenzie’s POV “There is something airy about that eunuch man in the cell. I suspect a foul play.” “Why would you lock him up without my consent? You should have let me know.” I could see he was trying so hard to conceal his anger against me. “The eunuch kept pushing me to the edge.” I was telling the truth at least. “All of Alpha Reon’s people are powerful subjects. Even with a mere eunuch, it’s enough to ignite a war with them. Why so foolish, woman?” “If things come to the worst, we can offer Saloni as a peace treaty to them.”He slapped me hard on the face causing me to land on the floor. “How dare you? A married woman to be given off as a peace treaty?!” He snapped at me. “Do you consider Alpha Bram your son-in-law anyway? You’re just using him for your ambitions!” I defended myself. “You are going to release that eunuch this minute!” “No, I won’t! Until I’m sure of his intentions.” I pretended not to have released him. Bribed the guards to keep things under check. I neede

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

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 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 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
