Semua Bab Betrayed By My Mate; Desired By His Alpha Daddy: Bab 1 - Bab 10

KEIRA'S POVEverything has to be perfect for today.The smell of freshly baked bread blessed my nose as I went up the stairs, headed for Dominic's quarters with the lunch I had spent all morning making.Dominic was my mate and fiance.With today being our one year anniversary, I had made everything he liked: roasted chicken, meat broth, fresh bread, dumplings, macarons etc.I wanted everything to be perfect for our anniversary this year because I was so happy it was with him, binding us together forever or so I thought.Soon, I reached the door.That was when I stopped to take a deep breath and tune down my excitement.The door instantly swung open under my touch , surprising me greatly.It was unlocked?That was odd. Dominic usually kept his quarters secured due to attacks from other packs.He was never this sloppy.Unless something had happened.Panic rose inside of me as I rushed into the house with the basket of food."Dominic?" I started to call out, expecting to see him attacke

KEIRA'S POVThe Alpha's eyes had followed me throughout the entire night.And in turn, I stayed away from him to create tension and scarcity.But the right time came when the other senior wolves dispersed to refill their drinks, leaving him momentarily unguarded. This was my chance.My move needed to be made when Matthias was completely alone.Now, he was standing at a far corner of the hall.Gathering the courage, I went up to him."Alpha Matthias?"He turned and his gray eyes fell on me, studying me.The intensity in them almost made me take a step back but I held my ground.Power emanated off him in waves.And I was entirely convinced that his presence felt more overwhelming up close.I had rehearsed what I would say to him a dozen times in the past hours.The words had died in throat when he had looked at me."Keira Ashford," he said my government name in a deep, measured voice.I swallowed softly."I noticed that you have been avoiding pack gatherings recently," he continued."I

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 made my scalp and spine tingle comfortably. “I know,” I responded with. My neck still hurt a little from the way Dominic had held it. Inwardly I wondered if I had been so blind before to not see the way he truly treated me. Well, the mask was off and I wasn’t going to let anyone else try to deceive me. “Thinking again,” the familiar smooth baritone made my heart skip. I looked up. Matthias had gotten much closer to me. Unwittingly my body felt hot all over, and I took a step back only to find my back still pressed to the wall. “I was only contemplating a few things,” I feigned calm, though my heart pounded madly in my chest. “About my position.” Mentioning the diplomat position made

Keira’s POVI reacted, raising my arm to shield my face.The shards of glass grazed my arm, and I felt some stinging but that all faded in the face of the situation. My blood boiled; adrenaline coursed through my body and I stood staring at Cordelia who stormed towards me, raising her hand to slap me.I dodged, taking a single step to the side, and she stumbled, her eyes widening in shock.“Y-You–” she choked out, hand still outstretched to point at me.“Me,” My tone was cold. “What did I do?” I asked.“You dare!” Cordelia cursed. The veneer of a kind, loving stepmother she always put forth in the public eye was always a lie. She often manipulated me behind the scenes, at first, when I was younger I didn't keep track, didn't know. Not until I owned, earned and had was slowly being leeched off of by them did I stop having a good relationship with her, and began to keep my distance.Once she had noticed that, she didn't even bother keeping up appearances anymore. My father died very ear

Matthias’ POVVivienne Ashford. Keira’s half’sister.It appeared that she was getting nervous about her ties to my son.And her audacity was astonishing.But for now, I wasn't intent on making life difficult for her. I decided to move on.“Anything else?” I asked.“Yes,” he paused. “Alpha, I am unsure if it is in my place to say this… but perhaps you should cut ties with Miss Keira. It is possible for you to have other women. But… taking your son’s own mate is–”My voice turned cold, sharper than ever before.“Enough.”He fell silent and to his own credit, looked away from my piercing gaze with guilt clear in his posture.The silence in the bedroom was brief.Then I asked, “Who?”I didn't need to explain. He knew what I was asking.He tensed up, rigid like a warrior about to face down a very dangerous predator.“It was Elder Marcus,” he replied. It was quiet, an admission of something else.\But the remorse was thick in his voice and so i didnt blame him.Thinking a little I said,
