All Chapters of Betrayed By My Mate; Desired By His Alpha Daddy: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Keira’s POVMy mouth fell open.I would have continued gaping at Matthias if I had not heard his voice thick with amusement.“Is that so shocking to you?”“Of course!” My voice turned high pitched at the end and only then did I realize I had been reacting strongly.I shut my mouth with an audible click and stared at Matthias with heat, wondering if I could get the entire story from him this time.I wasn't a gossip, of course, but I wasn't a saint either. Where the drama was, I sometimes got a little curious, alright?‘Your youth is showing,’ my wolf said through the mindlink. ‘What if he thinks less of you?’I pursed my lips, almost missing the fork that had arrived near my lips.“Don't think too much,” The tone of authority was smooth, deep and ever so enticing. “Focus on eating.”I opened my mouth again and took the morsel of food from the until held aloft.Glancing down at the nearly finished plate of pasta on the table I cleared my throat awkwardly.“By the way, did Jesse tell

Matthias’ POV“Father.”The sounds of doors slamming shut and the loud thuds of footsteps caused me to drop the paperwork, swiftly shoving it into a locked secret compartment of my drawer before I picked up another, less classified one from the pile on my desk. It took less than five seconds, and Kael, who had been sitting smoothly on the armchair didn't appear ruffled by it, simply going back to perusing his book.As soon as I did that, Dominic strode in with an air of utterly misplaced authority. His hair was slightly disheveled but that was only on the surface, likely due to his rush.“Dominic,” My voice was clear and my tone appropriately distant.He glanced around the study, very briefly, his eyes searching as if trying to find something he didn't have the right to.“What brings you here?” I asked, cutting short his actions before it could even bear fruit.Dominic blinked, the expression of someone nearly caught doing the wrong thing surfacing on his face, before he immediately

Matthias’ POVSincerely, I had barely listened to a word she said about the dramatic incident that happened between the Waylands and Vivienne.However, watching her so delighted, I had no other word for it. My eyes could not leave her.I watched her, unaware that my expression had gradually softened.The drama wasn't of much importance to me, as the Alpha, or a father-in-law to Vivienne Ashford.After she mentioned Dominic, I had already decided to split the households early.The only problem was getting him to agree to leave the estate.“Are you listening?”I hummed in assent.“I heard every word you said, love,” I simply couldn't help that endearment slipping out again.She was just too adorable right them, staring at me with wide eyes and her soft, pouty pink lips curving upwards into a smile.“Oh, I forgot to ask by the way,” she leaned in, and appeared to take another sniff of me in the process. “What’s your favorite dessert?”As she spoke, I had already made a mental note to wea

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

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
