CH41 - Kai's POV

When Dereck mentions the potential to kill Cedric, I feel a sharp pain in my heart. For whatever reason, I don’t think I can ever bring myself to kill that fool of an alpha. I know I may not get the choice if it comes down to a fight, but that doesn’t mean I would kill him in cold blood.

I just don’t understand why I feel this way. That man has been nothing but a pain in my side since we met. First, he kidnapped me and my pack, then he de-ranked me and now he sexually hounds me whenever he is in the mood.

With a glance at my feet, I realise he also does so when I get in the mood. Is that because of how I smell to him? What if Dereck can smell me too?

Peering up at him, Dereck doesn’t seem phased by me at all. Though is that because my body isn’t feeling rowdy right now? I can’t tell if that’s the case or if it is something else entirely. For now, I push those thoughts aside. As long as no other men are around me when I smell ‘good’, then I’ll be safe. Or as safe as this place can be
