Sihanaâs POV (72%
+5 Pear His comment made me pause as it reminded me of a time in the notâsoâdistant past when he hid things from me for no good reason.
âYouâre not doing that again, are you?â I asked with furrowed brows. His expression mirrored mine.
âDoing what?â He wiped the corner of his mouth as I fought down the horn dog in me that found that erotic.
âYouâre not back to keeping secrets from me, are you?â was ridiculous to ask because, from the look of things, he was, Someone all the way in the Silver Moon pack had to call to inform me of my life being in danger but my mate who was right beside me already knew but didnât bother telling me.
Should I really bother you with the news of some nitwits plotting nonsense?â His frown deepened as did mine.
Here we go again.
âIâve told you I donât enjoy being left out of the loop,â I grumbled, my head spinning. âFirst, it was Avalon seducing you and now this â I spread my arms as if the remnants of food on the table before me were the problem.
âThat silly girl pulling a silly trick is nothing.â He shrugged. My eyes narrowed and my heart sped up.
I counted to five, took deep breaths, but my heart beat didnât slow, rather it beat faster.
âHow would you react if you found out Aristo tried to get into my pants and I didnât tell you!?â I shouted so loudly, he flinched. My chest heaved and his face darkened and he pressed his lips together, emitting a small growl.
âIf thereâs one person in this worldâ He started and then he paused, a frown creasing his brows. âI was going to say Aristo knows better but I realize he doesnât. He pursed his lips, drumming his fingers on his desk.
âThatâs not the point!â I exclaimed but my words were weak, overfeeding making me drowsy.
âYouâre pregnant, Sia,â Cahir said in a calm voice. âLast week the doctor said your blood pressure rose. Is it sensible to worry you with a stupid girlâs prank and the headaches of an Alpha?â He asked.
âI want to know if my life is in danger,â I bit out. âAnd the Alphaâs headaches are my headaches too.
Iâm your Luna.â I felt he finally acknowledged me but it seemed he didnât. Would I have to fight this battle until the end?
An Alphaâs word was law but Cahir was more to me than my Alpha. He was my mate, my other half.
I wanted to know his business the same way he knew mine.
And what a fine Luna you are.â He got out of his seat and came to perch on the handle of mine.
âYou already know the issue with the Greysons. They refused to apologize for insulting my Luna and have teamed up with the Carsons who I brought in as sinners to serve the pack as restitution.â
âThatâs why I am in danger?â The Carsons and Greysons had issues with Cahir now thanks to me.
No it wasnât my fault. They were just bullies who targeted the wrong person.
24 72%ì +5 Pearts âIâm the danger, belle,â Cabir said in all seriousness. They will target anyone beside me as a way of getting to me. Thatâs why I have to act now to make a safe place for our child. Those words had no business warming my heart the way they did.
So Greyson and Carson are the insiders that Kade spoke about?â Heâd said someone important was plotting against me so that had to be Greyson. âIs Greyson the figurehead?â I asked with a frown. He had the money so he should be.
âHe is not.â I blinked at Cahirâs statement. âI havenât figured out their leader yet.â He didnât even sound bothered as he said that. âThere a few Alphas outside the park who have tried many times to bring me to my knees. They have failed at every attempt but now, they will try to use you. There are also individuals and families in this pack that share their sentiments. Alpha Warren wants to take back the healer from his pack but his son isnât showing as much interest as he used to in stealing someone elseâs mate so he has deemed him incompetent and is secretly planning to overthrow him. His daughter is here to seduce my beta and gather information on you.â
It was a lot that he blurted out all at once as if it was no big deal. Perhaps to a man like Cahir Armani, plots like these werenât new but to a small fry like me who had only ever had to deal with bullying, I couldnât think of what to do in the face of people trying to use me against my mate.
âThere are a lot of people that want to harm me.â I swallowed.
âDonât worry, I wonât let them.â He gave me a small smile. âThere are a lot of people but they all have their own selfish goals so theyâre bound to fail sooner or later. Usually, I would watch them fall over themselves and make enemies out of themselves but I am in a hurry to get rid of them now so I canât do that.â
âSo what do you plan on doing?â
Hearing my life was in danger put me on edge but the way Cahir spoke of the matter, it felt small and insignificant, easing my worries. A part of me knew he made it sound small and insignificant for my sake, to make sure I didnât worry over it, but it worked. I felt a lot more relaxed now that I spoke to him than I did after receiving Kadeâs call.
âI am going to hasten them,â he said with a shrug. âMr Carsonâs wife and daughter are in the dungeons. Dorian Greyson is missing heâs in the dungeons too. The Carsons and Greysons are going to do something out of desperation soon. Iâll be rounding up the spies around me as well to hasten them further.â
âWhat happens when theyâre hastened?â I asked.
âThey feel threatened, they make a move, and then I wipe them all out. If I do it in any other order. T accused of being a tyrant, some wicked devil.â He sounded put off.
get âWhat if ââ I swallowed at the possibility opening up to me. âWhat if things donât go as planned?â
â
âI use brute force. These games waiting to first be struck before I make a move are not my style but well Iâm mated now and about to be a father. A tyrantâs daughter isnât an appealing title.â
âWhat if itâs a boy?â I muttered. The baby was a boy. I felt it but he refused to acknowledge it. He wanted a girl for reasons he didnât disclose but we were having a boy!
âItâs a girl.â he said as if it was final. His words were always final but not here. He wasnât the goddess after all.
-You sound so certain,â I muttered. âOf everything. Isnât it dangerous to be so arrogant while dealing with nu, Nov 7 u 0 +5 Pearl -Even if they donât move how I predict, they will meet their expected end anyway. I am, after all, Cahir Armani. The ruthless alpha.
he next day, the rounding up of spies started. Five people from the castle were thrown into the dungeons be tortured and as Cahir predicted, the unrest started.
