Chapter 31Alpha Kai's POVIt's finally done. My long-lost dream has finally come through. I beam happily at Amelie.Amelie.The result of my careful selection. Not only is she beautiful, she's also strong, brave, and brilliant. I heard from her father that she helped out with their war strategies and was also a powerful she-wolf in charge of her packs' security. To top it all, she's beautiful and polite. A complete package. My kind of woman. This is the happiest birthday of my entire life. I feel fulfilled. I can now have children that will take on the Xander name and lead the pack to greater heights. I felt so excited and extremely proud to have her by my side that I introduced her to everyone in a grand way. She deserves it. My eyes locked with Alexa's. She looks hurt and disappointed, but I don't care. It isn't my fault that she's weak or wolfless.The ball came to an end and everyone left to go back to their various packs.“Alpha Kai,” I heard Alpha Gaius of the Grey wood pack

Chapter 33Alexa's POVMy eyes dart across the hallway, wondering if she was indeed talking to me. She stares at me icily.“Me?” I ask, pointing towards myself. Why will she want to talk to me when we don't even know each other?“Is there anyone else here?” she snaps.I am taken aback by how she speaks. She had been so polite and calm at the ball that I was even beginning to feel bad that I was rude to her.“You look plain, completely normal. I thought the Alpha's mate would be extraordinary, turns out I was wrong,” she sneers, circling me as she spoke. I'm completely speechless by her attitude. I just stared at her in disbelief, unable to say anything.“When are you going to give up your position and leave? After all, you are not wanted here,” she says icily.“Excuse me,” I mutter, still not able to wrap my head around what is going on and why she's picking on me.“You heard me or coupled with being useless, are you also deaf too, isn't that why the Alpha married me? Because you are

Chapter 35Ace's POVI sit on my swiveling chair. My face was frosty, my countenance radiating a murderous aura. The men at my feet, shivering and silent. No one dares to speak up. I suddenly stop swiveling and their breath hitches. I can hear every single breath they take and the pounding of their hearts. I turn and face my study desk. My claws tapped the table, every tap caused them to tremble in fear.“So… What you are saying is that the intruders I caught, and brought to the pack suddenly vanished into thin air,” I stared at them as I interrogated them.“Yes beta,” they respond, their voices trembling.“How?” I ask, my claws dragging along the table making a screeching noise.One of the men daps his brows with his shirt and gulps, “We were about to put them in the dungeon. We didn't know that they managed to slip out of their silver chains, and they attacked us unexpectedly and ran away,” he explains nervously.“Mmmmm, are you fools that useless” I mutter calmly, resting my head o

Chapter 37Alpha Kai's POV“What the hell,” I mutter, staring at the door Alexa just walked out from. What the hell happened to me? I behaved completely abnormally today. “Did I catch a fever?” I mumble, touching my head to feel my temperature and justify what just happened.Why did I care whether she bled to death or not? I don't know. All I know is that immediately I saw blood dripping from her hands, and I felt the urge to stop the bleeding before it got out of control.I didn't scream or yell at her like I normally did. It might be because she is still one of my pack members, and I'm responsible for her safety like all other pack members. Yes! That's it. That has to be the reason.It isn't because I have grown to like her. Did my heart change towards her? No way! I will never like a weak woman. I have a strong, beautiful wife that I care for dearly now. Amelie. Nobody else.I still have the desire to make Alexa's life a living hell, and I will definitely fulfill it.****Ace's PO

Chapter 39Alpha Kai's POV“You should calm down,” Amelie says, her head resting on my chest and her fingers gently caressing my arm. We are laying on our tangled sheets after two hours of intense lovemaking. I am still furious over the kind of behavior Ace displayed this afternoon in my office. Amelie came in shortly after, and she does know just how to make me feel better. At this rate, the crescent pack is going to have an heir soon and secure my pack member's future.“How can Ace do that? He has never shown me that level of disrespect before or lost his temper in front of me,” I reply, surprised by his actions but still angry.“It must be Alexa. She must have told Ace everything that happened,” Amelie says after thinking for a while.“Of course, I know it's her, there was nobody else there at that time that could have told him. She even lied that the maids and guards were present,” I answer, repulsed by the kind of lies that came out of her mouth.“She knows Ace has a soft spot fo
