Chapter 104
Alexander nods blanky. “Okay…”
Together, we begin to walk back to the tent. When my driver pulls up, I decide to ask if Alexander wants to ride with me. Now, he cracks a smile and nods.
“That would be great.”
We get into the car together, sitting side by side as we head off toward the pack house. After a few moments, Alexander clicks his tongue.
“You know…speaking of touch,” he begins. “I don’t often see you and Kane being affectionate toward one, another.”
His words catch me off guard, and I’m not sure what to say as I try and fail by stumbling over my tongue.
“I often wonder,” Alexander continues. “If that’s because there are certain issues between you two. I know I shouldn’t butt in as it’s not my business, but you two don’t seem to be…touchy. Loving.”
Again, I have no idea what to say..
“Perhaps Bianca has something to do with it?” Alexander goes on to say. “She seems to make quite the fuss…and I got the feeling that there was something between her and Kane.”
“N-No,” I try to jump in, but it’s weak, likely unconvincing.
“Are you sure?” Alexander asks.
I hesitate then, thinking. My heart beats a little faster as I consider his words. If I don’t react accordingly then Alexander could run off and tell his father and cause even more issues.
But isn’t that what I want? Or what Evelyn from a few weeks ago would want? If the Alpha King knew the truth then maybe he’d end my marriage with Kane on the spot.
That’s what I had wanted…but is it still what I want? Shouldn’t it be after all I’ve been through?
1 could be free of it all.
But then I’d also lose the progress I’ve made with my wolf or potentially finding my mother’s will. My agreement with Kane would be off and I’d be tossed out with nowhere to go.
And you’d likely never see Kane again.
I don’t know where that thought comes from, but it slithers into my mind and I don’t like the weight of it. Yet it stays, as do all the others as Alexander and I continue our drive,
As we drive, I continue to think. It becomes clear that I can’t let Alexander think there are problems nor can I let him run off and tell his father anything. I need to do something to make sure that doesn’t happen, to guarantee Kane and I are off the hook.
Finally, we pull up to the pack house and I glance out the window, immediately noticing that Kane is currently on the porch. He seems to be talking to the staff as he gestures to some of the cars out front.
Slowly, I get out of the car as Alexander exits the other side. As I close the car door behind me, everything seems to slow down as an idea presents itself inside my head. An impulsive idea.
Without another thought, my body begins to move on its own as I make way toward the porch. My gaze remains

locked on Kane as I walk up the drive, my feet soon climbing the steps of the porch. When I reach the top, Kane seems to sense me, his eyes turning to meet mine.
“Hi, baby!” I say warmly. Instantly, Kane’s brow quirks in both amusement and confusion. Only, his expression shifts to complete surprise as I lift up onto my toes, one of my hands going to rest at the nape of his neck while the other grips the front of his shirt so I can pull him toward me.
When our lips are only a centimeter apart, I pause, sharing the same breath with him as I notice Kane’s expression has changed once more. Surprise and confusion are gone and something else stands in their place. Something that almost seems like anticipation.
Quickly, I whisper. “Just go with it.’
And I press my lips to his, kissing Kane for the first time.
As I pull him closer, I remind myself…
This is just for survival.
