Ken’s p. o. v
I turned in bed for what seemed like the sixth time.
I couldn’t sleep nor fully calm down.
I was scared of what had happened earlier. Yes, I went a little too far with my words, but she made me say that.
After all those hurtful words I spat, I went into the alpha’s office to put the files down.
As soon as I came out, one of the warriors mind linked me telling me how the female alpha had forced him to give her wolfsbane.
I quickly rushed there in fear and my wolf pulled through as well. There was just no way we were going to lose our mate like that.
When I saw that bottle pressed to her lips, I did the only thing I could think of and that was to hit her hand.
In all my life I had never hit a woman nor hurt any lady. But today I wanted to. I was so furious with her that I almost lost my reason and control.
But then she asked me what she would do to have me love her like I did, and the only thing that came to mind was change. I was still madly in love with her, and it took everything in me to ignore her. But I needed her to change her character.
If I was to fully accept her and give myself to her completely, then she needed to change.
She was a very beautiful woman, sexy too. But she was cold when it came to me and other pack members.
“Ahhh fuck stop thinking.” I whispered to myself then sat upright.
My head was slightly aching and I was finding it hard to process everything I had discovered.
When my phone rang, I moved and grabbed it from the pillow next to me then answered it calmly.
“Hello.”
“Ken it’s Jason.” Jason’s voice came through.
“Alpha, thank goodness you called. I was worried that something might have gone wrong with you.” I said honestly.
“Says the man who couldn’t even come rescue me.” He answered.
I kept quiet and swallowed hard when guilt feelings washed over me.
“I had no idea that you were captured. When you ordered us to go and search for our Luna, we left without questions and searched for a lot of hours, but we couldn’t find her or any clue that could lead us to her. We didn’t want to disappoint you but we had to come back. Rhoyda and I came back but you were nowhere to be seen. I wanted to talk to Rhoyda and ask her about our next move when I heard some noises coming from your room. When I rushed there I found your brother grabbing her hand tightly. I had no idea that it wasn’t you until they began talking. I heard some things that were very hard to process. When your brother left the house that’s when Rhoyda explained everything to me.” I said softly then took in a deep breath and released it.
“Jason I’m sorry. I’m so sorry for not figuring out what was going on at that time. I had no idea that you were going through a lot of pain and experiencing such hardship from the alphas. If not for Cole’s visit I wouldn’t have known anything. I blame myself so much for never paying full attention to you even when I saw you sad.” I said honestly.
“It’s okay Ken, it’s all in the past.” He answered softly.
“I wanted to go search for you but then Rhoyda came out of the house with your passport. I decided to follow her and keep my distance, then I saw you with Cole, despite looking all beaten up. You looked like you talked things through with your brother. And so I went back and decided to wait for either your orders or call.” I said.
He chuckled softly then sighed.
“Then I’m glad that I called you.” He answered.
“How are you doing that side?” I asked as I stood up from the bed.
“I’m not at Cole’s pack. I’m back at my house.” He answered.
“House?. As in back in that country?” I asked on top of my voice.
“Yes, am with Cole and Emily. We need to talk things through and decide on our future. I might take some time to get back to the pack. It may be weeks or months.” He answered as I frowned.
“May our goddess help us all.” I said then walked out of my room.
“You don’t have to worry Jason, I will take good care of this pack. Moreover, I ran this pack when you were away. This time I’m not alone because my mate is with me, I will look after her properly and the people will understand when I explain everything to them.” I said.
“Thank you, Ken, do take care of yourself as well as my sister till I return.” He answered.
“I will,” I said then disconnected the call.
I went to Rhoyda’s bedroom and knocked.
“Come in.” She answered.
I opened the door and walked in.
She sat half-naked in front of her dressing mirror writing something on a piece of paper.
“Why aren’t you dressed?” I asked under my breath as I swallowed hard.
“Because this is how I sleep. Please don’t think that I’m trying to seduce you again. It’s just that I saw no point in covering up when you saw it all.” She answered.
“What are you writing?” I asked curiously.
“The do’s and don’t’s. You might think I was just saying things, but I want you to know that I’m serious about wanting to be with you. I will be the best mate to you and a good alpha to our people.” She answered surprising me.
“Um… Jason called and he said he won’t be coming any day or week soon.” I said softly.
“Okay, thank you for letting me know.” She answered without looking at me.
“Alright, then …. goodnight I guess.” I whispered then turned to walk away.
I was somehow disappointed, I knew that she was serious over her words and about changing. But just a second ago I felt like she wasn’t paying attention to me.
“Ken.” She called as I heard a chair move.
“Yes,” I answered then turned to face her.
She approached me and tiptoed, kissing my lips lightly.
“Goodnight.” She whispered when she pulled back and went back to her Seat.
A smile formed across my face as I walked out of her room.
I had a feeling that we were going to work everything out in less than a few months.
