CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE

EDEN.SOME DAYS BACK, ON THE NIGHT OF THE ENGAGEMENT PARTY.Kao clipped me on the shoulder, nearly sending me reeling as he made his dramatic exit.I rolled my eyes at his retreating back. The fucking theatrics on that one.If I didn't need him as much as I did, I might've laughed in scorn. Unfortunately, the only one who had anything to lose in this entire debacle was me.Forcing a big, PR smile, I turned my attention to the sleazebags I'd been schmoozing up to the entire night.“My fiancé has been very stressed all night. He must have mistaken these fine young men as attackers. You know how these alphas are? Once instincts take over its act before thinking.” I placed both hands on the balcony doors, already stepping back.“Please forgive the interruptions and enjoy the rest of your night.”The balcony doors shut with a loud, final bang.Silence descended. I heaved a deep breath, steeling myself before I turned around to face the bane of my very existence.Asai Wrynn.A pathetic ex

CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO.

EDEN.When I was younger, my mother used to tell me to avoid wearing black. “It washes you out, honey.” She'd say. But like I've come to realize as I got older, my Mother was a bumbling fool. She was also a liar.I looked a dream in black.Sexy, deadly, dangerous and fierce.Exactly the look I was going for. I smoothed down the ruffles on the pants, squinting at my face in the mirror and wondering if I should go for mascara, when the door opened and Kao stepped in.He paused, raking his gaze over me, pausing briefly at the sheer top I had under my blazer. If I didn't know any better, I'd think he was interested. But Kao fucked everything with a hole. His attention was not particularly a welcome notion.“Is the car parked out front already?” I asked, fluffing out my hair a bit more.“Yeah.” He grunted, pulling at his tie. His father had forced him into proper attire for once. And for all his faults, Kao Mori was delicious in a three-piece.“I still don't think any of this is necess

CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE

ASAI.I was fumbling with a cigarette lighter when I heard footsteps crunch behind me.I didn't have to look to know it was Kao, I could smell him, and the scent of his pheromones had me shuddering slightly as heat swept through me.I rolled my eyes in exasperation even as a part of me was thrilled he'd followed. He stepped into the narrow alley where I'd sequestered myself, stopping directly in front of me and stuffing his hands in his pockets. In the distance, I could hear the noise from the paparazzi. “You smoke?” He asked, voice gruff. I finally managed to light the stick, even as my hands trembled badly. “It's a bad habit I'm trying to kick.” I grumble, “I only backslide when I'm especially stressed.”“Hmm,” he hummed. “It's very unlike you.”I frowned bitterly, turning my gaze away. “I'm full of surprises.”Kao said nothing, he just stood there, staring, until I tossed the cigarette with a frustrated growl, crushing the butt under my heel.“Why are you here?” I hissed, “You'r

CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR

KAO.“What?” The omega jolted, pinning me with a wide eyed look that went straight to my dick. “No, no, I can’t be in heat, I’m on blockers.” He lifted his arm to his nose, sniffing frantically, “A-a-and I’ve been taking suppressants. I―”“Quiet.” I snapped, clamping a hand over his mouth as I glanced at the divider. The driver couldn’t see us, but that didn’t mean he wouldn’t hear us, or fuck, smell Asai.I released some pheromones just to mask the smell, and Asai whined, eyes rolling back as his body bucked. “Fuck.” The smell of his pheromones was stronger than the last time he’d been in heat, I was practically drooling. “You need to get yourself together, Wrynn.”“Get myself together?” he seethed, eyes flashing hot with anger. “Easy for you to say when you’re not the one melting from the inside out.”“Well it certainly isn’t my fault! If you’re planning on keeping your secret, you need to reign in your pheromones.” I moved closer without thinking, tipping my voice low. “My driver’

CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE

KAO.By the time the car pulled up to Asai’s family estate, he was back in the throes of his heat once again. The smell of his pheromones was so potent, I completely gave up any hope I’d had of hiding what was going on from the driver.Once the car was properly parked, I pulled down the divider and leaned forward.“My good man,” I drawled, meeting the beta’s neutral gaze in the rearview. “I’m sure you can understand the need for discretion. If any of tonight’s activities find its way to the media in some way, you and I will be in very big trouble.”“Of course, Master Kao.” He nodded, gaze flitting briefly to where Asai was sprawled on the seat, panting softly into the leather. “You have my full discretion.”I patted him once on the shoulder, then pushed the door open, swooping the omega into my arms effortlessly. He flopped spinlessly against me, rubbing his nose into the material of my suit with a low groan.“Are you lucid enough to direct me to your bedroom?” I asked as we crossed t

CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX

ASAIEverything was so hot, and I was so sticky.My eyelids were crusted with dried tears when I peeled them open, disoriented and slightly confused. The entire room reeked of pheromones, both mine and Kao’s…Kao?I jerked awake and immediately groaned. My thighs were sticky and messy, squelching slightly as I shifted. For some reason I felt unreasonably full, so I shifted a bit and froze. Kao was still inside me. He groaned from where he was sprawled behind me. “Would you stay put?” he grumbled against the skin of my back, and I shivered involuntarily.“How long has it been?” I hissed.“I don’t know.” He grumbled again in reply. He shifted to turn and his cock slipped out of me, making me shiver again as cum and slick spilled out to my thighs. I bit down on my lip in shame and arousal, which in turn made me feel even more ashamed. But, I wasn’t about to linger on all the atrocities I’d without a doubt let Kao do to me for heaven knew how long. I needed to take my suppressants be

CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN.

ASAI.I didn't want to return to my room, because I knew Kao would be waiting, so I detoured down to the kitchen to get myself a protein bar.Some of the staff milling about stared as I walked past, and I tried not to think about the fact that all of them knew what I'd been doing the last two days.I was pouring myself a glass of water when I heard the familiar click of heels on tiles. Charlotte stepped in, her face pinched.There was a newspaper clutched tightly in her hands.“Young Master Wrynn,” she said on a bow. “I had hoped you'd be available. I didn't want the Matraich seeing this before you did.”I frowned as she stepped closer. “Is something the matter?”“Well yes, I suppose you can say that.” Carefully, she placed the paper on the marble countertop, and at the very front page was a picture of Kao, herding me into the back of his car.I was visibly flushed, pink with the first stirrings of my heat, and Kao's hand on my back was possessive.The Headline above screamed in bold;

CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT

ASAI.Eden’s smile was calculatedly shrewd, his gaze knowing as he glanced between us.“Oh dear, am I interrupting something?”“What are you doing here?” the words were out of my mouth before I realized I said them.Eden shrugged, pouting slightly. “I haven't seen my dear brother in law in days, my fiancé also happened to have conveniently disappeared as well, I was worried.”Behind me, Kao snorted, but I ignored him as I stepped out. “I appreciate the concern, but I'm fine. We were just heading over to the estate now.”“Is that so?” He cocked a brow. “Your romantic getaway is over? So soon?”I stiffened. “I don't know what you're talking about.”Eden rolled his eyes. “Oh please, I'm not an idiot, and I'd like to believe you aren't either. How else do you plan on explaining why my fiancé is at your home, dressed in the same clothes he wore to dinner two days ago?”I whipped my head around. In the midst of everything, I hadn't even realised I never got a change of clothes for Kao. He

CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE

ASAI.“I'd like you to explain, in your own words, how a dinner meeting that was meant to be a public apology turned into another scandal?”Elder Mori's gaze was harsh and unforgiving, it wasn't directed at me, but I squirmed in discomfort nonetheless.Somewhere in between, Kao and Eden had joined us, arriving together in Eden’s car, now they sat side by side. Kao had his arms folded and was holding his father's gaze effortlessly.“I don't see how this is a scandal.”“Oh really?” His father said, incredulous. “So the insinuation that you're having an illicit affair with your younger sister's fiancé is what exactly?”“There's nothing being insinuated.” He insisted, leaning forward. Next to him, Eden shut his eyes and rubbed at his temples.“I don't understand.” Saki's voice came from my side, speaking up for the first time. “What even is the context of this picture? Why're you getting into a car with Kao? Why's Eden not with you?”I froze momentarily, rolling the ring on my finger abse

CHAPTER FORTY

ASAI.By the time I slunk out of her room, Saki was asleep, and I reeked of her pheromones. Which was exactly what I set out to achieve. I drove home in silence, and was shocked to find a familiar black car parked in the driveway when I arrived. The front door opened just as I was killing the engine, and Marcus stepped out, followed by my Mother, and a man I hadn’t seen in years.Nicholas Wrynn.Marcus’s father, and the man after my inheritance. I kept my shoulders straight and my chin raised as I crossed the lawn to approach them. “Uncle.” I nodded once. “What a surprise to see you here, Mother never told me you’d be dropping by.”“It was a surprise.” The large man grinned, stepping forward to clap me on the shoulder. “Look how much you’ve grown, little bird. Still a little scrawny for an alpha, but I heard you’ve gone ahead and gotten yourself engaged to a Mori.”He shook my shoulder hard, and I clenched my teeth. “The entire extended family had to find out from Marcus over he
