Kael’s still silently fuming as he walks us into our room, shutting the door behind him with a little more force than necessary.

Meanwhile I’m trying my hardest to look everywhere else but directly at him.

Kael’s an alpha and his eyes exude strong waves of dominance, especially when he’s furious. It’s almost impossible to hold his stare without feeling like folding into a shell and never coming out again.

I’m not sure what to say to him, or why he’s so agitated in the first place.

Not even Cameron has pissed him off this much and he’s the one Kael wants revenge on.

He still has me in his arms and it doesn’t seem like he realizes it’s time to let me down.

“Uhmm… Kael?” I call hesitantly, tugging gently on his shirt.

He glances down at me and for a moment, the words I was about to say die on my tongue.

The anger swirling in his eyes is almost suffocating. I avert my eyes on instinct but Kael growls lowly.

“Look at me Laila.” His tone is firm. “Always… look at me…”

I don’t know if he’s words are a promise or just his consent for the moment, but I do.

My eyes meet his and I hold his gaze as he searches mine, even if everything in me is urging me to look away and put as much distance between us as possible.

Still, I keep my eyes fixed on him. Those orbs of his, even shining with anger, are intensely captivating.

His gaze seems to hide a mystery no one will ever be able to decipher. But it keeps one locked in, clinging to a false hope to someday be able to understand it…him.

But the truth is… that day will never come.

After what seems like an eternity but in reality must have been just a few seconds, he breaks the silence, “You were saying?”

But not our gaze… that he doesn’t break. His eyes stay locked on mine, unblinking, like I’m as much a mystery to figure out as he is,

It takes me a moment to jog my mind back to reality for long enough to remember what I was going to say.

“You can…let me down now.” I reply,

Kael’s brows furrow slightly but he walks over to the bed, setting me down gently so I’m sitting by the edge of

the bed.

An awkward silence settles between us. My gaze is fixed on iny shoes and Kael just stands by the bed, completely silent.

Finally, he exhales slowly and leans down, reaching for my feet. I pull them away from his reach, “I can do it myself.”

Kael fixes me with a stern glare, “Stay.” His tone is almost warning.

My brows furrow slightly, “Stay? What the hell, Kael? Am I some sort of dog?” I scoff beneath my breath.

Kael doesn’t even acknowledge my protest, he crouches down and tugs my feet to himself, lifting it, he slowly undoes the straps of my heels.

“I said…” I try to protest again but this time he cuts me off.

“Not now, Laila.” Kael warns, “I’m on edge. You being stubborn turns me on. And you know it.” He says it like he’s just talking about the weather, but his tone is deeper…huskier, evidence that he means every word he’s just said.

“If you keep this up…I won’t be able to stop my wolf…”

I bite down on my lip, keeping down whatever else I might have had to say. Our wolf sides don’t make their presence known often, but Kael seems to be having more communication with his than most do in this age.

It makes him stronger than most. Faster than most. He heals much quicker too. Most rogues do. But it’s not always a good thing to be always right on the edge of losing the reins of your own mind to a completely savage side.

Kael quietly takes off both my heels and then he pulls back the covers, pulling them over me when I lay down.

He examines my cast slowly, his eyes narrowed in concentration. Ever so often, his brows would furrow into an almost frown and a flash of anger would cross his eyes.

This side of Kael… it’s startlingly different from the possessive and cruel man from just a few moments ago.

It’s hard to believe this is the same man that takes whatever he wants without a care what I think about it.

The same man that forces me to confront my desire for him, just to prove I’ll never be able to escape his clutches until he lets me go himself.

It’s the same man…yet it’s not.

If I didn’t know better, I’d think Kael has a multiple personality disorder. But Alphas don’t get things like that, right?

When Kael is done making sure the cast is intact, he steps away, moving to the nightstand to take off his wristwatch and knuckle rings.

My gaze trails him, uncertain on what exactly to feel at the moment. He makes me fume in anger, and then gets angry himself over me. And then blatantly tells me to shut up or risk arousing him.

What exactly does he want?

Say what’s on your mind.” He says, glancing over at me.

1 hesitate for a moment. “You shouldn’t have snapped at Max. Your granddad won’t be impressed”

Kael scoffs beneath his breath while unbuttoning his shirt. “I don’t care to impress him.”

My brows furrow slightly. “Isn’t that why we came back?” I ask warily. “Because you want Blackwood Corporation?”

He never tells me about his plans, and he gets mad when I ask. But I can’t help it.

Kael shrugs his shoulders.

I’m not sure what reaction I expected from him, but it wasn’t that.

“I don’t ‘want‘ Blackwood Corporation, Laila.” He asserts, “It’s mine.”

I raise a brow, Maybe before now, the next Alpha of a pack was always the eldest, but I don’t think anyone really pays much attention to that these days.

Isn’t it all about who’s the better fit for the title? It’s basically the same as inheriting the family business.

“I know what’s on your mind.” Kael murmurs, as he tosses his shirt to the couch.

Now bare–chested, he turns to face me, his eyes narrowed,

It takes everything in me to keep my gaze from wandering.

“Do you also think the only thing I have going on for me is being older than…him?” He asks, his eyes are narrowed, and his hands unfasten his belt, as he approaches with slow, measured steps.
