KILLIAN I stood on the porch, looking at Bella's status update. She was having fun in Spain and did not care how I was doing here. She would not know what hit her tonight. After making it public that Karla and I were dating, she would blow up my phone. I heard a sound behind me and turned to see Jennifer standing there with Karla beside her. My eyes were locked on Karla. She looked magnificent, but she was uncomfortable with the dress she was wearing and had to tug at it to go down. I found it hilarious because she used to expose her body and dance for men in the club before. Who knows how many of them she has slept with? Anger welled up in my heart at the thought of that. I do not really care. She is the only one I needed to get my asset and girlfriend back. She is beautiful. I will give her that, but she was also timid and an Omega. Everything about her is embarrassing, but those are all I needed at the moment. "Here is your brand-new girlfriend," Jennifer said excitedl

KILLIAN This was all acting, and I do not like Karla because of the way she crashed into my life. I knew she was manipulating me; most women manipulate men like me. I have met a lot of women like her—gold diggers and girls hungry for fame and power, who believe they can do anything. I know all the innocence she displayed was temporary. I knew her game plan, which is why I am being cautious about everything. We can never do anything without signing it on paper, so when she wants to go haywire, I bring up these million-dollar lawsuits that would make her shut up. Everything was working in my favour. Well, except for one thing. The mate bond. I thought I had played enough to be able to resist the mate bond. I feel drawn to her, even though I refuse to admit it to myself. My inner wolf has been a prick, getting all excited and jealous around her. I had been angry with her and Colby from the moment Colby complimented her looks. He seemed to be gravitating towards her, and it made me

KARLA Alpha Killian was walking so fast and dragging me along. The heels itched, and I was finding it difficult to keep them on my feet. I whimpered in pain as I missed my step. "Please, slow down," I pleaded.He stopped and turned to look at me. I saw the anger in his eyes and wondered if he was mad at me. He looked around the garage but did not say anything to me. Colby has already brought the car around, and it was already open. Alpha Killian shoved me into the car and got in after me. I was tensed as he got in. He was angry with me, but why?As if he read my mind, he turned to me. "You had to ruin everything. Just one minute, I left you, and you are off with another man." Colby ignited the car and drove it out of the garage. My mouth fell open. Did he think I invited that man to the bathroom? "I did not—" "You did not what? I saw you entertaining him, and then you walked off to the bathroom, making him follow. Why must you entertain him? You are carrying m

AUTHOR P.O.V. Delores stared at the tablet, flipping through the pages and looking at the pictures of Killian and Karla. She sighed and dropped the tablet on the desk. She tapped her foot. "An Omega," she muttered. "An Omega. How on earth did he get together with this Omega?" She leaned back on her chair and held her head. "What is this? Put me through. Call Killian right away."The man who gave her the report called Killian's line. Killian answered at the second ring. Delores took the phone from him and put it to her ear. "Killian Cabello, what is this nonsense I am hearing? Tell me this is all a sick joke." "This is not, Mom, Killina's drowsy voice said from the other end. "An Omega?" Delores said it almost in a whisper. "Yes, an Omega, Mom. This is my life, and our wedding is coming up soon." "You will not marry that girl. It is over my dead body."Killian sighed. "I am sorry, Mom. You and everyone would have to deal with this because she is the

KILLIAN The mansion was quiet when I got back. I have been busy since the morning and just wrapped up in the office. Karla was not in the room when I got there, and my heart skipped a little. Where was she? All I had thought about today was her, even though I wanted to put thoughts of her behind me. Had I been too harsh on her? Did she leave? I cautioned myself as I was about to go to the door to look for her. What am I doing? She is only an omega, and I am the Alpha. Why will I go after her? Why am I looking for her? I went back to the room and unbuttoned my shirt. I searched the closet and still found her belongings in it. I felt a little relief that she did not leave.Why am I feeling this way? Karla is driving me crazy.I showered and laid on the bed, ready to sleep off and forget everything about her, but after a few minutes, I found myself tossing in bed, unable to sleep, her thoughts still heavy on my mind.Convincing myself that I was concerned about the b
