Keira’s POV

I pursed my lips, searching in my mind for any way I could fix this. “I… I was blinded by anger then. I only wanted to teach her a lesson. I only knew she had a boyfriend, and I didn't know the extent of her relationships. I didn't think she was sleeping with other men.”

“Not just other men,” Matthias corrected. “Many of whom are connected, though not directly, to high places in the city and the region. Your sister was whoring herself out, and now all the city’s elite knows this. Th

    Matthias’ POVPoisons. Not one, but many.My breath caught slightly.Lance was never wrong.“This… this isn’t possible,” Keira spoke, her face pale and her voice a hushed whisper.I said, “Lance, are you certain?”My tone was hard.“Yes, My lord,” Lance bowed his head as he rose to his feet before straightening calmly. “She has accumulated several poisons in her. Not one, but at least three I can identify. I will need to take a blood sample from her to determine which exactly.”Keira blustered, shaking her head.“B-but how?” She glanced at me. “I never got poisoned once in my life except for today. This is impossible.”“Uncle Lance has never lied about anything like this, Keira,” Brandon was the one that spoke first.My jaw clenched.Could he not see that Keira was even more upset now after this?I gave the young man a glare and he shut his mouth with a click, looking apologetic.It didn't take me long to draw up a conclusion after hearing the words that Lance had spoken. Even if Keir

  • Betrayed By My Mate; Desired By His Alpha Daddy   Chapter 71

    Keira’s POVBy the next ten minutes, 4 shadow guards stood in the living room, awaiting orders from me and Brandon.I recognized Jesse, and the other three also appeared familiar.Several shadow guards were summoned at once by Brandon whose visage was akin to ice.I watched while he questioned them, giving me a chance to listen in on the interrogation.“Who sent the letters?” Brandon asked, voice right with barely concealed rage. “And who was here when they arrived?”The guards each gave their own account.Jesse stepped forward first, “I was the one on duty at the townhouse this morning. The letters were dropped by several people. I was able to trace four of them.”“Then where did the last letter come from?” Brandon growled.I noticed he was furious, and I stepped in.“Brandon,” I softly said, “it might be possible that it was dropped in another way.”“Then it is their responsibility for not keeping the house secure,” Brandon said, but his voice was much less sharper than before. “Che

    Keira’s POV “Miss, some letters arrived for you this mornign after you left,” the maid that greeted me at the door of my townhouse carried my luggage and spoke steadily in a respectful tone. “Letters?” i frowned slightly, glancing at the clock; it was already 4pm. “Yes Miss. Shall i bring them for you?” “Sure,” I paused at the doorway to drs morning after you left,” the maid that greeted me at the door of my townhouse carried my luggage and spoke steadily in a respectful tone. “Letters?” I frowned slightly, glancing at the clock. It was already 4pm. Who would send me letters? “Yes miss. Shall I bring them for you?” “Sure,” I replied, waving my hand and drifting over to the kitchen tk get a glass of water. The quiet, calm environment that belonged only to me was incredibly pleasant to be in. But soon I might have to relocate again. Thinking this, I pursed my lips, wiping my mouth after finishing the water. “What are you thinking about?” Brandon appeared at the do

  • Betrayed By My Mate; Desired By His Alpha Daddy   Chapter 69

    Matthias’ POV Keira didnt stay long after our conversation. She made an excuse about wanting to return to the townhouse and organize her wardrobe, but I could see through her expressions that she was overwhelmed, contemplative and likely needed to be alone. Very briefly, I pondered if she regretted getting involved with this matter, but it would not change anything anymore. The die was cast and she had become entwined with me, and I with her. My eyes flickered to the clock. Nearly an hour had passed. Surprising. The time had passed quickly, but with her I had barely noticed the seconds. The report I waited for from Kael came by 5pm. Between that time I had already cleared the small pile of paperwork on my desk. His entry was quiet, almost unnoticed. “Any news?” I asked without waiting for him to speak. Kael moved to the pitcher of water, pouring a fresh glass. “I have determined Daniel Croft is not involved,” he said. My brows furrowed slightly, then relaxed. “V

  • Betrayed By My Mate; Desired By His Alpha Daddy   Chapter 68

    Keira’s POV Hearing that single word set my heart racing. “M-Me?” My voice took on a disbelieving tone. “I have to admit,” Matthias spoke, his tone just as monotone and contained as it had been when he had explained the entire story of the surrogate. My throat tightened as I saw his gaze towards me take on a more assessing gaze, the cold, precise way a professional used to read others acted with a puzzle they wanted to solve. “My intentions for getting closer to you were not originally purely to get an heir from you.” I waited, because what else could I do? Deep down, my wolf was simultaneously excited and anxious. ‘Should we run? Is this going to put us in danger?’ my wolf continued to rant in my head through the mindlink and my fingers curled in on themselves, forming loosely held fists. Perhaps it was the way Matthias looked at me, or the intimidating aura he gave off throughout, and when it was focused on me, it felt like he wanted me dead. I swallowed. “What I ha

  • Betrayed By My Mate; Desired By His Alpha Daddy   Chapter 67

    Matthias’ POV The subject of Reyna was a sore topic for me. It wasn’t because I really cared about her, but that I had lost an opportunity to gain an heir was not a small matter. “A few months ago,” Keira replied. Keira sat stiffly on the chair, looking like she was receiving the briefing of a meeting instead of the relaxed way she had been when I had left. A part of me regretted having to tell her this. But information was power and she needed to know what she was dealing with. So I spoke, and while I did I fell back into the memories of the last couple of months. I hadn’t publicized my desire for an heir in any way. In fact, even those closest to me didn't know and only the shadow guards knew about it. My intentions had always been to keep things quiet until the child was born, pay off the woman and make it appear as though I had a child born out of wedlock. It wasn't exactly a scandal no one had seen before. But using a surrogate? That was indeed still difficult to

  • Betrayed By My Mate; Desired By His Alpha Daddy   Chapter 10

    Keira’s POVThe next morning, I got up as soon as my alarm rang. But what I didn't expect was that someone would bang on my door just as I was about to get ready.“Keira, you damned bitch! Get out here!”I recognized Vivienne’s voice, and I paused.Of course, I thought. She was starting again.I di

    Matthias POVMy study was quiet and by this time of the day, the exhaustion of the day had begun to linger in my body.“Anything new?” I asked.Kael, the head of my dark guards, did not sit. Instead he leaned against the wall, eyes scanning the surroundings in that usual, alert way of his. He was

  • Betrayed By My Mate; Desired By His Alpha Daddy    Chapter 6

    Keira’s POVMy entire body felt hot at that exact moment. I kept my gaze on the plate, and quickly grabbed a napkin to dab at the corners of my lips.I felt red hot shame, embarrassment, and many other conflicting emotions.“Sorry,” I spoke, keeping my tone low and calm even though my stomach did

  • Betrayed By My Mate; Desired By His Alpha Daddy   Chapter 5

    My voice came out in a low volume that only he and I could hear. “Thank you,” I breathed. He glanced at me, and as our eyes met, it felt like he could see through me. Piercing and intense. “You don’t have to thank me all the time,” Matthias said. His hand rested comfortably on my arm. The touch
