Chapter 23

Keira’s POV

I hear a branch snap and turn my head to the sound. It’s Shepard. My heart drops in my stomach. How much did he hear? Shepherd looks surprised. Oh no he heard everything.

“Shepherd it’s not-“ an arm wraps around Shepard’s neck and Whitney appears next to him.

“Look at what we have here. Looks like the little omega is just moving up the ranks. I can’t believe you would use poor Shepherd and Vivian in your little scheme. That’s really low of you.” Whitney says.

“What?” Shepherd asks.

“I heard her with her little coffee friend laughing about the whole thing.” I take a step back from Theo.

“That’s not true.” I say. But the look on Shepard’s face tells me her words are sinking in.

“Shepherd none of that is true.” Theo say
