All Chapters of Betrayed By My Mate; Desired By His Alpha Daddy: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Matthias’ POVPoisons. Not one, but many.My breath caught slightly.Lance was never wrong.“This… this isn’t possible,” Keira spoke, her face pale and her voice a hushed whisper.I said, “Lance, are you certain?”My tone was hard.“Yes, My lord,” Lance bowed his head as he rose to his feet before straightening calmly. “She has accumulated several poisons in her. Not one, but at least three I can identify. I will need to take a blood sample from her to determine which exactly.”Keira blustered, shaking her head.“B-but how?” She glanced at me. “I never got poisoned once in my life except for today. This is impossible.”“Uncle Lance has never lied about anything like this, Keira,” Brandon was the one that spoke first.My jaw clenched.Could he not see that Keira was even more upset now after this?I gave the young man a glare and he shut his mouth with a click, looking apologetic.It didn't take me long to draw up a conclusion after hearing the words that Lance had spoken. Even if Keir

Matthias’POVI sensed the urge from Leon, of trying to assure me of his loyalty. So when he said that, I regarded him with a plaintive look.But I said, “Continue.”Since he wanted a chance to prove himself, I would give him one.He straightened slightly from his previously slumped posture and cleared his throat.“I heard that Elder Marcus has been having meetings with someone outside the pack. Not official business. My wife worded it as a valuable ally. But I am uncertain of what capacity.”“An ally,” my fingers rubbed together slightly.“Not officially,” Leon reminded. “By my calculations it is someone who he wishes to hide his connection to, which can hold a myriad of implications. When I attempted to ask further about it, I was brushed off. But I can investigate further if you would like.”My mind turned over that information.I was aware of many of Elder Marcus’open allies. He never tended to hide his intention all in the guise of promoting ‘honesty’ and ‘loyalty’ to the pack. Ho

Keira’s POVI opened my eyes to sunlight streaming in, casting a warm glow around me. I rolled onto my side and pressed my face into the pillow which smelt like a mix of lavender and mild vanilla scent.The unfamiliar scent was supposed to wake me up, but it only drove me deeper into sleep, and I blinked slowly, trying to burrow myself deeper into the covers.This was my first day in the Alpha's estate.I should have been excited to get up and work, explore and enjoy my day. But upon thinking of the blood test results yet to arrive this morning, my enthusiasm waned heavily. I couldn't imagine what kind of poisons that would have been used on me. What if it affected me so badly it shortened my lifespan, or something worse?A groan left my lips. The deal I had with Matthias was, in order to be his ally, I had to have his child, build my own alliance and work in every way alongside him, while keeping an eye out for Dominic’s manipulations and actions. But what if I couldn't have children

Keira’s POVHolding the paper in my hand, my brows furrowed slightly.I asked, “What is this?”He responded, “one of two copies of your prescription. You will be on a regimen of detoxing and strengthening medicines for your body. Only after clearing these poisons from your system can we have any children.”The topic of children made my words get stuck in my throat, and I stared at him, unable to help gaping at his teasing tone.“What? Did I say something wrong?”I had to hold myself back from saying yes and instead gave him a full-on glare filled with grievance and helplessness.Matthias raised a brow, his eyes shining with mirth despite his expressionless face.“You could use your words sweetheart,” he teased further, “I never realized how adorable you get when you’re like this. Like a kitten.”Hearing that word, ‘kitten’ coming from his lips reminded me of the many times he had said it and made me blush. My heart raced but I still raised my hand to poke at his chest.“I’m not adorab

Keira’s POVLunch ended with me and Brandon still talking about the possibilities of him finding a partner, and by the time I knew what was going on, we had gone into discussing the wedding.My wedding, that is.“I do not intend on inviting Cordelia,” I shook my head at Brandon’s current question. “If I could, I would wish that Vivienne didn't even get to attend.”“It would be a pack-wide celebration regardless,” Brandon shrugged.We were currently outside, with the sun streaming down. It was sometime past 3pm, and I felt like my body was a lot more relaxed than when I had woken up this morning.Concealing a yawn behind my hands, I heard Brandon add,“It’s not like we couldnt have her removed for disturbing the peace, anyway.”My shoulders shook with laughter and i cast a mock glare a thim.“What?” he asked innocently.I playfully reached out and slapped his arm. He flinched and cradled his arm, pouting.“Brute,” he cursed.“And you’re silly,” I giggled. “What in the name of the Godd
