Mated To Alpha Kessler

Kessler’s POV

“Wait for me at my office,” I told Nolan through the mind link. Immediately arriving at the pack, I barged in, eager to hear what he had for me.

I have known Nolan for quite some years now, and I don’t doubt him. He is good at what he does. We have many private investigators, but he is top-notch.

“This is going to be more interesting than I thought,” Dolph said, breaking the silence. “What do you think will be the outcome of his findings?”

For some time, Dolph had been quiet, staying off and not interacting with me. It made me wonder at times if I still have him. But hearing him speak brought a smile to my face.

“I wish many things, Annie shouldn’t betray me, she seems like a calm lady, not capable of hurting a fly. I admitted with a sigh

But to answer your question, Dolph, seriously, I don’t know what to expect. Many things are at stake now, but I know for sure I won’t be a party to accommodate any act of infidelity.”

“Let’s find out then,” I said as I walked to my office.

The moment Nolan saw me, he stood up and bowed in obeisance. “My Alpha king, good to see you again.”Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

“Same here, Nolan. How have you been?” I asked, returning the respect.

“Can’t complain, my king.”

“Let’s see what you have for me?”

“Right here, sir,” Nolan said as he handed me the envelope. I felt apprehensive, with questions like ‘what if’ swirling in my mind.

I’ve never been this scared in my life, just staring at the envelope right in front of me. What if all of this turns out to be a lie?

“My king, the ball is in your court,” he said with a gesture towards the envelope, leaving the decision up to me. Nolan called gently, breaking my thought.

Meaning, I should unveil whatever mystery was tucked away in the envelope.

Zach walked in at that instant, eager to uncover whatever it contained.

“Open up,” his voice brought me out of my thoughts.

I opened the envelope and pulled out some documents. The first thing that caught my attention was a picture of Annie in bed with another man.

My heart sank, and although I felt nothing for her, the fact that she was able to prey on me made me want to hit the wall hard.

I took a closer look at the man she was in bed with and realized it was the same man we had encountered at the restaurant.

I vividly recalled how frightened she had been when she saw him at the restaurant. It was as if she wished the ground would open up and make her nonexistent. The realization hit me hard, adding another layer of betrayal to the already shattered trust I had in her.

The next document revealed everything I needed to know about the man. His name is Xander Rossi, twenty-eight years old, and he is a farmer. It seems he’s doing well for himself, supplying hotels and restaurants with livestock and other necessary commodities for food.

Zach took one of the documents as he noticed I had finished reading its contents.

“Who is he to Annie, and why are they in bed together?”

Nolan pointed to the envelope. “My king, everything you’re asking for is right in front of you, waiting to be unveiled.”

Feeling angry all over again, I wanted to lash out at Nolan for his answer.

However, on second thought, I realized that he was speaking the truth, so I continued to check through the information.

My eyes widened as I read further and discovered that Xander Rossi was Annie’s mate. She had rejected him, yet she still went to him to satisfy her sexual urges.

“This is a state of deja vu.”

“Shit, shit, shit,” I repeated, the weight of the situation sinking in.

“There is more, my king,” Nolan added, indicating that there were still further revelations to uncover.

As I continued to go through the documents, I noticed that the date on the picture of Annie in bed with Xander was a week before I had been intimate with her.

Realization hit me like a ton of bricks. It seemed like she had orchestrated a damage control plan, manipulating me into sleeping with her since she was my chosen mate.

She probably thought it wouldn’t be fair for me to find out she was pregnant without having touched her, so she took matters into her own hands and pinned it on me. I felt a surge of anger and frustration at how gullible I had been.

I couldn’t solely blame it on emotions; I had been vulnerable, especially with Lyra being taken from me. However, I should have had more self-control.

“If I had sucked it up and taken control of my emotions, I don’t think I would be in this situation right now,” I muttered to myself, reflecting on my actions and the consequences they had led to.

“Fucking hell,” I exclaimed in frustration, slumping down heavily in my chair.

I couldn’t help but commend the professional job Nolan had done. He didn’t need me to ask questions; everything I truly needed was tucked away in the envelope.

Annie had always harbored feelings for me, even when Cassie was my mate. We had never had a one-on-one conversation; it was always a shy hi here and there. The documents in the envelope revealed that she had always had her eyes on me and desired me at all costs.

The realization of her intentions hit me hard, leaving me feeling betrayed.

It’s astonishing how far people will go to have someone they love, but I feel nothing for Annie. Despite Lyra’s rejection, my heart still beats for her, and I am determined to win her back for myself.

Conor has vowed to win her as well, but I can’t trust Conor. He knows how to charm women, and they often fall prey to his advances easily.

One of the reasons our friendship with Conor, Zach, and I faltered was when Conor started taking an interest in the girls we dated. I can’t be friends with someone I would be afraid to leave my girlfriend alone with. Trust and loyalty are essential to me, and Conor’s behavior has eroded that trust over time.

It was a rough and bitter fight between the three of us when Conor succeeded in winning and betraying Zach by being with his girlfriend.

Zach’s girlfriend was devastated and heartbroken after falling prey to Conor’s advances. Her emotional turmoil led to depression, especially since Zach wanted nothing to do with her following the betrayal.

As time went on and we grew older, Conor discovered that she was his mate.

But, she wanted nothing to do with a man like Conor and rejected him instantly, unwilling to be with someone who had caused her so much pain and heartache.

I can’t imagine the fear I am feeling about losing Lyra to Conor.

“Alpha, there’s more,” Nolan continued, handing me the last of the documents. As I read through it, I was utterly dumbfounded by what I discovered. The revelations just kept coming, adding more layers to the complexity of the situation.

Annie has bitten off more than she can chew. This revelation was the last straw that broke the camel’s back. I desperately hoped it wasn’t true, but the evidence seemed all too real, and Nolan’s credibility was unquestionable.

I growled in fury, feeling my Lycan threatening to burst out. How dare she do this? The betrayal and deception cut deep, igniting a raging storm of anger. How dare she do this right under my nose?
