GoodNovelChapter 263 I stared at him. "Why is it bad?" I asked softly. Even though I never expected Karina to be into drugs, her arrest cas a relief for reasons I didn't even know.
He muttered something under his breath. Although I didn't quite her him, it sounded more like her arrest opening up a whole can of worms.
Before I could ask him to clarify what he meant, he spoke again, "Did you know Alpha Kester duped Alpha Kex of 150 million?" The number made my chest go cold. "What?" Why wasn't I even surprised? Kester could go to any length to take anyone down. One hundred fifty million was fair compared to what I know Kester was capable of.

Kex is keeping it under for now; otherwise, his investors will go wild." I stared at him like I didn't know him. "Jake... If it's still a secret, how did you know about it?" He didn't look at me. "I have a source," he said too quickly, as if he had just realized he had said something he shouldn't say. "Reliable. Very close to this whole thing." narrowed my eyes, a sinking feeling building behind my ribs. "What kind of source?" I asked. "You're not even a part of his world." Jake hesitated just for a breath and then gave a nervous chuckle. "Babe, please. I have friends in high places. You know that." No, I didn't. The way he said it felt off.
He stood up a bit too fast, "I'll get us something to eat, okay? You just-rest. You look pale." And before I could argue smore, he walked out the door and slammed it shut.
"I don't like him, Kasmine," I was almost startled by the voice of my wolf, Zera, when she spoke. But I'll get used to it soon.
"Zara, don't worry. He's a good guy. You'd get to like him soon enough, okay?" I murmured, chuckling half- heartedly as I tried to lay back down.
"No. I don't want to like him," she snapped. "I want our mate. You're running, Kasmine. But you can't run forever." She preached like she'd been doing all night. And sincerely, each time, she said those words, they struck deeper than I'd care to admit.
Because she wasn't wrong. I couldn't run forever.
"I know Zera," I whispered. "I know. But it's not that simple. Kester and I... we're poison together.
"You want him to reject us," Zera said bitterly. "But you know he'll never do that. I felt him last night. I saw him. I know him, Kasmine. He'd burn down the world just to be with you. And his wolf? There is not a chance, in hell that he will let us go. Not even with a fight." I squeezed my eyes but as my heart skipped several beats. Again, she wasn't wrong.

I felt sorry for her. She didn't deserve to be brought into the chaos and m Kester had created for ourselves. But it is what it is She'd have to bear withuntil I knew what to do and how to get Kester to reject me. "Don't worry, Zera. Everything will be..." I was saying when she cutoff and yelled.

"Mate! Mate!" She kept chanling, and before I could process what she meant, it hit me. That strong, m & That possessive, thick, dominating scent I had perceived last night. It struckstrong and hard, and it was drawing nearer and nearer.
I stumbled out of bed, one hand gripping the dresser to steady myself as my knees threatened to give out. My skin flushed hot, then cold, tingling all over as hough I'd been doused in fever. It was Kester.
And something toldthat this time, he wasn't leaving without me
