Chapter 0016 Chapter Hector POV

I knew he was here. My guards at the gate informed me the second he arrived, I had instructed them to do so..

A small collection of guards were also ordered to escort him onto the main pack lands, to not give him a window of opportunity to snoop.

I know I had planned this, that I wanted this...but now that it is about to happen, I'm not sure how I feel.

She looks sensational. The dress seems to have been made for her. She looked like a Greek goddess with her olive skin tone slightly enhanced from enjoying walks around the pack grounds in the afternoon sun. Her long brown hair cascades down past her shoulders and I had to stop myself from brushing it away from her neck when she walked to the bottom of the stairs.

My

throat had become dry and smart words failed me at that moment.

An added dded sparkle of glitter framed her face with a cuteness that still made her look desirable. She She was a vision.

She mingles well. She was confident and possessed an ease in starting conversation with strangers, even those of high ranks within shifter society. She had all the alphas and lunas eating out of her hand this evening. 1 Some of them even offering her a place to stay if she ever fancied a change in scenery.

I was careful not to let her talk to the unmated alphas for too long....she was pregnant after all. Yes, that was the reason....

"She's new?" Jude, one of the Alpha's from a neighbouring pack, follows my gaze to Kaia. Jude was a close friend of mine, we had an unspoken agreement to defend one another's packs should an attack

occur.

Allies like him you can't buy.

Tes.

"A transfer?"

But not a lot got past him. He knew most of my pack members, and I his. He would have noticed Kala before.

"No, I found her...." I keep my answer brief, not giving too much

seves lin haway.

"Well, she's a lucky find... on her longer than I appreciate and oddly my wolf gives off a growl in my head.

e hall door opens and I can sense him enter the banquet, and judging by her reaction so can she.

My eyes hardly left her this evening, but I was now tracking her every move...the rise and fall of her chest, the way she shuts her eyes....the way her fingers grip tightly around her champagne flute. He's before her in seconds, his height overshadowing her shorter frame. Chapter 0016

Alpha Jude continues to talk to me but I don't hear a word he says, all I can concentrate on is what is happening by the bar.

I'm trying to listen in but with the music and loud party sounds I'm struggling to get every word. All I know is she is shaking her head...taking a step back from him.

He touches her, his hand grips on to her upper arm and something inside of me is uncomfortable with the way he touches her.

She shoves his hand off her, a growl emitting from her which silences a few guests in their close proximity. A scene unfolding before them.

"Hector?"

"Excuse me." I say to Alpha Jude who was trying to regain my attention, but I was already walking towards the bar.

Her eyes flash to mine as she notices my incoming presence, her heartbeat rising even more. She wasn't relieved by my presence, she should be worried...her truth is about to come out. "There you are. Everything okay?" I call out to Kala, not missing the tensing of his back as I join them. Yeah well I feel the same about his voice and face.

She just nods, her eyes flickering between mine and Than's.

*Kaia, this is Than Sable, Alpha of the Amber Desert pack..." I introduce her to him, because why would they know each other...I only know what she's told me, right!

His eyes burn into mine and I'm enjoying every b***dy moment of it dawning on him that she's been hidden in my pack for the past 2 weeks.

Not only nicely hidden but now a pack member, her allegiance now sworn to me.

Oh this is

is good, this is revenge at its best. At its finest

His eyes hold a threatening glare to them. The thick ****k, does he really think he'll be able attack me here? Win against me.....

He scoffs in my face as he takes a step closer to me, a lot more eyes on us now... Ezra's voice trying to push on the pack link into my mind.

"We actually know each other..." Kaia softly states, trying to diffuse the tension between the 3 of us. T

He takes the champagne flute from out of her hold and puts the glass to his lips. With a smirk forming in his lips, he then downs the remainder of her drink.

"Really, how is the

possible?" My question is for Kaia, but my eyes haven't left his once. Time for him to squirm. Time for me to wipe that smirk off his face.
