“Baby… I know you’ve been worried about everything, but you really need to rest and put your mind at ease and I know just the way to help with that,” I said with a smile as I wrapped my arms around him from behind, my fingers moving to his buttons, ready to undo them.
It had been two weeks since all this mess started. Nyssa, that bitch seemed to have changed. She didn’t like Kieran anymore. In fact, she hated both of us now, which meant our plan had failed.
And it clearly affected Kieran. His chance of finally becoming Alpha and getting his revenge had slipped away.
To him, that bitch had been his ticket to everything. But now, she’d changed and she seemed to know about Kieran’s relationship with me. That’s why he’d been in a bad mood these past weeks, ignoring me, snapping over the littlest things
To be honest, I didn’t care if Kieran became Alpha or not. In fact, I was even relieved he didn’t end up marrying that
woman.
So why was he still this determined?
“Leave me, Aria. I’m not in the mood,” he muttered under his breath, hair falling messily around his face as he downed another drink before pouring himself another.
“Why is she acting so differently? I can see it in her eyes… she hates me. She wanted to kill herself… His grip on the glass tightened as he hissed, “To frame me. Nyssa really wanted to kill herself just to frame me.”
My eyes narrowed, jaw clenched at his words. Goddess, why did he have to go on and on about her? If I wasn’t mistaken, the way he spoke sounded like he was heartbroken, like he was hurt by what she did.
But why should he be? He shouldn’t feel anything for her.
My lips trembled, but I held it in and forced a smile asl leaned closer to his ear, slowly undoing one of his buttons as i whispered,
*You should stop thinking about her, my love. Just relax.”
I let my tongue flick out to slowly trace his earlobe.
“Let me help you… I know exactly how to make you feel good, baby.”
A grin stretched across my lips when he didn’t say anything. Thinking I was finally getting somewhere with him, that this would distract him from Nyssa, even just a little, I reached for the second button, ready to undo it.
But the next second, a surprised gasp escaped me as my hands were suddenly grabbed and pull
Ty from his chest.
I watched as Kieran stood up from the seat, staggering slightly from how drunk he was, shaking his head before glancing
at me.
“I said I’m not in the mood. Can’t you see there’s something more important than this?” he snapped, his voice dripping

with venom. “You still haven’t figured out how she knew the truth about us. You don’t even seem to care. Don’t you understand what’s at stake here?”
The corners of my lips curved into a frown as I stared at him, my hands tightening into fists.
This man standing in front of me right now–this wasn’t the Kieran I knew. He was the strong, composed man who stood
tall without ever being shaken.
That was the man I had fallen in love with.
And yet here he was, like this, all because of another woman.
“Why are you not taking this seriously? You should be talking to Nyssa, that-”
I snapped the moment I heard her name again. Before he could react, I grabbed the pillow beside me and threw it at him
in anger. Because he was drunk, he stumbled and fell easily, the glass shattering on the ground as I yelled.
“Nyssa! NYSSA! Stop calling her name! I roared.
Kieran groaned, sitting on the floor as he stared at me in surprise, his dazed expression shifting to shock.
“Can’t you stop saying her name for even a second? Why do you care so much about that bitch?! She’s all you’ve thought about these past two weeks, every word out of your mouth is about her. Do you like her?!”
Kieran’s eyes darkened at my words and he growled, his voice sharp with warning.
“Don’t you spout nonsense!” he hissed, and laughed.
“Nonsense? I know you want to be Alpha so badly and get your revenge on Alpha Ethan, but do you not care about me? I’m your mate, Kieran, your mate! And it wasn’t easy seeing you with another woman like that, yet I took it in… but you’re taking it for granted!” I screamed, forcing back the tears as I stood up from the seat and stormed upstairs in rage.
Ught The nerve of this man. How could he treat me this way? After everything I’ve done for him. I fucking let my best friend have him just so he could be happy, yet he was acting like this.
And the worst part? After my father heard that the Alpha was furious at me for being accused of cheating with Kieran, he chased me out of the house, told me not to come back unless I made up with that bitch.
It was infuriating. Really infuriating how Nyssa always had all the good things.
She was the Alpha’s precious daughter. She had servants, designer clothes, the best food, the best cosmetics. She was so much more beautiful than me. She had Kieran, and even after she ended the engagement, she turned out to be the Lycan
King’s mate.
Even though the Lycan King was a scary man, he was still powerful and he ruled the strongest nack in the world. She was lucky,
My hands clenched into fists as I stormed toward the room.
“This isn’t fair at all!” I hissed, throwing the door open.

But at that moment, Froze
My eyes widened in disbelief as I stared at the person sitting on the edge of the window, shrouded in shadows.
