Chapter 42

I couldn’t help but frown at that. She was basically finding every opportunity to come close to my mate and I wasn’t really okay with that. Although I kept a brave front, I hoped Alpha Kingsley would put her in her place but hell no. He seemed soft and tolerant whenever Kate was involved.

More to my disappointment, he agreed she could stay in Andrew’s room, which was a bit close to ours

I couldn’t help but feel a slight ache in my heart.

A pang of jealousy and anger rose up in my chest

No… “I shouldn’t feel this way”.

“I have to accept the fact that he never sees me”

I told myself but my traitorous heart wouldn’t calm down.

We both stood silent, staring at each other.

It sent chills down my spine.

It screamed danger.

His gaze dropped briefly… to my lips.

My heart was already pounding.

Fast

Heavy

Yet anticipating.

I couldn’t help but curse inwardly. This was going to be harder than I thought, and somehow, I couldn’t

“I shouldn’t want him”

“But I do”

“He doesn’t defend me… so why do I still feel this way?”.

“Why does my heart still beat for him?”,
