The car ride back home is silent, save for the pitter–patter sound of the rain as steady droplets hit the car.

My lips still tingle where Kael kissed me, and my lips aren’t the only part of me tingling.

We’re both still shaken… and something more. I wish I can explain it but I can’t.

My mind reels from everything. It’s not even just the kiss, or how warm his lips feel against mine, or how his tongue dominates mine without even trying,

It’s not even his words, or his readiness to kill for me… It’s none of that!

It’s his gaze, the way he looks at me…

It’s not just the hungry gaze of a man who wants to taste me, it’s like a man who’s already had me and craves

more.

He looks at me like I’m already his, in every way and form.

It’s the heat of his body, the warmth of his breath… how he never shies away or hides his desire for me, it’s everything.

It’s impossible not to hate this man. He’s brash, and arrogant and so damn possessive, it’s suffocating!

He pushes me, tests me…tempts me…

Yet every second since we’ve been back, I keep ending up in positions where my body rebels a little more…

Against my will, against everything I stand for.

Like now. In this moment that it’s taking everything in me not to glance over at him, or worse, reach for him and pull him close enough, he’s left with no choice but to finish what he started.

He’s driving now. His hands clutch the steering wheel, his eyes fixed on the road are narrowed in concentration.

But every once in a while, he glances my way, just long enough for me to catch a glimpse of the pink tint on his lips where my gloss smeared.

He didn’t even bother to wipe it off. He doesn’t bother to hide the bulge straining against his pants either.

He just drives… eyes front, knuckles white.

And then suddenly, the car skids as he turns sharply, sending us both lurching. He pulls it into a park.

“What the…” I gasp in surprise, looking over at him with bafflement. “Kael! You could have gotten us in a

crash!”

He’s out of his mind! He has to be. I just got out of a hospital ward, I’m not trying to get sent back to one

Kael doesn’t look my way. He leans back against his car seat, his hands still gripping the steering wheel like we’re still in motion.

Something tells me it’s not about moving forward, but holding back. I know because I’m doing the same… I’ve been doing the same.

The traitorous thought has me clenching my thighs.

“Why didn’t you tell him?” His tone is tight and controlled,

Him? Who?

The desire clouding my mind fades. I’m not sure what Kael’s talking about. It has him so agitated already, but I’m drawing a blank.

“Who?” I ask him uncertainly.

“Who else?” He responds with a question of his own. Throwing a chilling glare my way,

Cameron…it has to be.

“He said…” I was saying, but Kael cuts in.

“I don’t care what he said, Laila!” He asserts. “I don’t give a fuck about him, and I don’t want to know what he said! Fuck him!…”

He trails off, drawing in a sharp breath. “I want to know what you said, Or rather, what you didn’t say

My brows furrow slightly. What is he on about?

“Why didn’t you tell him she’s the reason you fell?” He asks again. “Why hide the truth that his wife is a two faced bitch? To spare his feelings?”

So that’s what this is about.

I blink. I can’t answer Kael’s question. Because I’m not sure myself.

I finally had the opportunity to call Sarah out on her bullshit and make Cameron see her for who she truly is.

I had to take a fall to get it too, literally…but the chance was right in front of me, and I didn’t take it. I just couldn’t.

I couldn’t look him in the eyes and tell him the woman he loves, his true mate, is not as pure and innocent as he thinks she is.

I couldn’t look him in the eyes and tell him half the things he knows about what happened three years ago are all lies.

How could I? The truth that Sarah had poisoned their own daughter to get rid of me, had been hard for me to

accept. I was wrecked for months and couldn’t come to terms with it, and I’m not the one in love with her.

But Cameron… It’ll shatter him. Kelly’s the most important thing to him and he’ll be devastated.

That’s probably what Kael wants. The cruel bastard. He’s fuming that I let the chance slip away.

I don’t regret it. Cameron needs to untangle himself from Sarah’s deceit himself. It’s not something anyone can save him from.

And then there’s Kelly… she’s still just a child. She didn’t deserve anything she’s already been through.

“Or are you just scared…to face the reality that Cameron already knows the truth?” Kael’s chilling cold words draw me out of my reverie. “Scared to confront the reality that he chose her either way?”

My eyes dart over to him. He’s staring at me now, his gaze is piercing, like he sees right through me.

Like he knows my deepest darkest secrets.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about, Kael.” I murmur beneath my breath.

“Don’t you?” He scoffs beneath his breath,

“Did it never cross your mind that Cameron being with Sarah was never about the mate bond, or love, or any of that nonsense, but about being the first Blackwood in five generations to be blessed with a true mate bond?” A sly smirk stretches his lips.

I turn my face away, but that doesn’t stop him.

“Did it never occur to you that Cameron’s not as innocent as you make him out to be? That he dumped you not because Sarah was the better woman but because she could give him what you couldn’t…legitimacy?”

My hands clench into fists at my sides. The sacred mate bond only true Alphas are blessed with. Our kind have always had an obsession with that superstition.

Cameron being with Sarah…it really is the only way he qualifies to be Alpha over Kael.

Kael’s words hit… cruelly, but I keep a blank expression.

“Didn’t you take my hand to make him regret choosing her?”

“Now that we’re back here, you don’t feel like being the villain anymore? Because you know now that Cameron still has you in his heart?” Kael chuckles darkly.

“You can protect him from me, Laila. Even from her. But you can’t protect him from himself…”

My heart stutters, but my frown deepens. “Kael, that’s enough.”

“I’ve had enough of this…” My eyes are narrowed darkly. “Of you.”

Kael eyes narrow, he growls lowly. “Fuck that, Laila. Fuck this!”

He leans over, faster than I can move away. His hand goes around my neck, keeping me steady, and his lips hover for just a second, his hot breath crashing over me, my pulse trembles… before he crashes his lips down on mine.
