Neah”Y…you said you killed them.” It wasn’t my place to ask questions. But he had clearly kept her alive and if she was here to kill me, I wanted to know why she was the only one to survive. “I did.””But not her?” I frown, confused. He was deliberately dragging it out.”There was never a reason to kill her. I told you, some of the other brides ran. Some of them were trying to dig up information on me. She wasn’t clingy, she wasn’t desperate for my attention, though that has clearly changed. Veronica didn’t do anything wrong, in fact she was very on board with the arrangement. It was me who grew tired of her.””She killed her true mate.””He wasn’t part of this pack.””She betrayed her own family.””I see Raven told you everything she knew.” He stares at me from across the table.”Yes.””Veronica’s family had an agenda. Just like Trey, they gave her away for the contract. The only difference is, they made it look like it was the worst thing that could possibly happen to them. Yet, all along they had planned to hand her over. They wanted me dead and needed inside information to be able to do that. Veronica figured it out. So yes, you could say she betrayed them, but she brought the truth to the surface. It takes a lot for someone to betray their own family.””You let her live because she helped you to live.””It was the least I could do.”The horrible jealous feeling fades away as I look at him. He had this mean, mysterious side but now and again, he really did surprise me.”I’m not saying she is a great person. Or that she’s even a good person” He continues, “She has become bitter over the years. In some ways, I think the Moon Goddess is punishing her because of killing her true mate. Veronica knew that once she met him and their bond had formed, she wouldn’t be able to do anything with me. Much like you when you were still linked to Kyle. I almost killed you with a simple kiss.””She loved you.” I whisper”More than what I could ever return.” He frowns”Raven didn’t know?!””None of them do. It’s not something that I like to share. As far as they are aware, Veronica had angered me.”””And she left?”He nods, “I told her she could go wherever she wanted and that I would never let her struggle financially. She returns every time I have a new bride. She tries to persuade me that she is still here and avaliable. I think partly, she is trying to measure up the new bride. But I told her we are mated and I have warned her.” His tone deepens as his eyes lock back on to mine. “If she tries anything, she won’t make it out of this pack alive.”It was a lot to take in. Alpha Dane sits there, watching me, waiting for me to say something. But what could I say? I had Trey and Cassandra who had set me up. Someone in the dungeon who was claiming to be my brother and now this. A woman who was desperate to have Alpha Dane as her mate. But how far would she go?”I……..” I didn’t know what I was trying to say. My fingers feel the bumps of the mark he gave me. He had marked me. I was the only one who he had done that to.”I chose you, Neah. I was meant to find you.” He looks up at the clock on the wall. “We need to go, otherwise you are going to be late.” S~ᴇaʀᴄh the Findηovel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.”Late?””I have found you a tutor.
