KEIRA:I bit my lower lip, to stop myself from being emotional. We may be the only ones in this store, but that was not enough to humiliate me. Well, I guess I was wrong about touching someone else’s phone. I may be a servant, but I raised myself well. It was a mistake. And getting my emotions to decide anything for me was not a wise move. "L-Lennox, c-can we talk for a moment?" I raised a question, grabbing his attention.He spared me a glance and he was back to reading his magazine again. "What is it, Keira?" His voice was void of any emotions.He was still mad at me. Even if he was not saying anything about it, it was what I had been sensing. "Can you give my full attention to me?"Alpha Lennox heaved a sigh. "What do you want to say?""If you really wanted to talk to Malik, it's okay now.""We talked about it earlier. I won't talk to him."I chewed on my bottom lip. You can say it. Say sorry, Keira. It's difficult.You have to.I closed my eyes. "I'm sorry that I touched you

KEIRA:What was Malik doing here?Unlike our first meeting, the Malik facing me right now was wearing a serious expression on his face.He wanted business. Was he looking for the alpha? But I thought he wanted to talk to Alpha Lennox.I looked around. The alpha was nowhere to be seen."If you are looking for the alpha, he isn't here. He is looking for—""I'm not looking for him," he said, cutting off my words. "Do you think I will not wait in the corner until he leaves you alone? No. I am not looking for him.”I pointed at myself. “You are looking for me? Why? Is there some sort of misunderstanding here? Because the last thing I remember, I did not owe you anything, Malik.”“I know,” he whispered. “I need to say something.” His eyes were frantic as if he did not want anyone to see us talking.“Wait. How did you manage to enter Stonewind’s Pack territory?”“I have a friend. And courtesy of having the son of an alpha. I can go with whatever pack I choose.”“What brings you here, Mali

KEIRA:"See?" Malik asked while giving me Zoe's phone. "I was not lying when the two were still communicating with each other. This is enough proof that your husband, that asshole alpha is the one who is reaching out to Zoe."My hand was itching to grab the phone and scanned the exchanges of their messages. I wanted to know Zoe's reply and Lennox's. But that will only make me more pathetic than ever. I inhaled deeply. "You won't stop, will you? What really do you want, Malik? Do you want me and my husband's relationship to be ruined? Do you want us to get divorced even if it hasn't been a month since we got married?""What I am trying to say is, are you okay with the text he sent?"Malik truly hated the alpha. "There's no harm in asking if Zoe is okay. They were once in a relationship. Maybe he wanted to make sure if Zoe is okay or not. It's only fair that they will ask each other if they are well or not."Stupid, Keira. How could you continue defending him? You are the most foolish

KEIRA:I stared at Alpha Lennox in disbelief. He continued munching without having any idea of the impact of what he just did.His brows furrowed as if studying the aftertaste of the shrimp. He raised one finger and pointed it to my plate. 'One more. No. Give me all the shrimp, love. It's delicious. My appetite is back.'Without being told twice, I hurried and put the spoon with shrimps on it in his awaiting mouth. Still dumbfounded, I couldn't help but ask throughout the link, 'Lennox. W-what are you doing? I did not tell you to eat it. You said you are full.'I bit my lower lip. All the shrimps were gone. All because of his enormous compassion. For me. My chest was constricted. A lump formed in my throat. I was not ready for this. I was not prepared for this act of kindness. 'This is nothing, love.'It was nothing to him, but it meant a lot to me. 'Then what? Wait until you have your symptoms of allergy? I won't allow that to happen, love. Eat whatever does not give you an

KEIRA:“I want a child, love,” Alpha Lennox said in the most tender tone. “Who wouldn’t want a child? I am not getting younger. My busy schedule won’t allow me to be with my wife always. I did not want her to be lonely so a child while I was away would be the best thing.”We were thinking the same. If I had a child…no. If we had a child, the emptiness while Alpha Lennox was nowhere around would lessen.A child bearing his face and habits?Something kicked my chest.Oh, my goodness. That would be a dream come true.Still…the villain side of me was telling me that it was too good to be true and when that happened, then it was not true. Please tell me you are joking, I pleaded in my mind. Please tell me you are only playing a prank so that I won't be getting my hopes high. Please. Just please. But again, he did not say anything.Wait. Was this real?If that is too good to be true, then that is not true, my mind repeated. I must ask him. "W-what are you trying to say, Lennox?" I ask
