All Chapters of Betrayed By My Mate; Desired By His Alpha Daddy: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Matthias' POVI started the conversation."Explain how rogues could have appeared in your pack.”One of the maids brought in some tea. I didn't take it, not because I didn't welcome it, I simply wasn't thirsty at the moment.Silas was the one that spoke.“For the past six months, we have been investigating this, Crane. But unfortunately we have made little headway. You see, the reason we sought an alliance with you is because we have been targeted from the beginning.”My brows furrowed but I didn't make any move to speak.“It began last winter, when we started to receive letters,” Silas reached into his pocket and pulled out a stack, tossing them in my direction. I caught it, and began to untie the string that bound them together, while listening. “They are anonymous, handwritten, and aimed at causing trouble for us. We assumed they were simply pranks at first. But things began to escalate over a month ago. Several of our guards reported sightings at our border gates, and several more

Keira’s POV I let out a squeak, the only sound I could make after being literally turned over and pinned beneath a wall of strong muscle. How did things all of a sudden turn around? I had only gotten the courage to sneak in knowing that he was asleep. Wasn't that what the head maid told me when I arrived? Now here was, pinned underneath a barechested Matthias, and forced to face the consequences of my impulsive actions. I bit my lip, feeling his intense gaze on me. “You’re awake,” I stated, like it was not damn obvious. “You woke me,” his timbre was low, a smooth baritone with a hint of edge. My heart sped up and the heat on my cheeks spread down to my neck. All of a sudden, everywhere felt so hot. “I didn’t mean to disturb you,” I finally said. I was unable to move much, my wrists were grasped tightly, and his other hand lingered on my waist. “And yet you came,” he chuckled, the vibrations travelling from his chest and somehow I swore I could feel it. “Because I– I though

Keira’s POV“I think things are more intricate than his pack simply being bullied,” He simply replied.He reached his hand out to me, and I took it, ultimately getting pulled up to my feet.“For now,” Matthias added. “We have little information. But his physical state is not good.”“You mean, he’s sick?” my brows furrowed and my eyes widened a fraction. “That’s horrible. The pack will be unstable if he;s sick, and now there’s this matter of the rogues…”“Exactly,” Matthias gave me an approving look.“So, you mean he wants our help in stabilizing his pack? What does the Greyhound Pack have to offer us in return? The terms would end up wholly one-sided if we aren't careful,” I began to look at things from a different lens. One had to be objective no matter how close our two packs were. The Greyhound Pack originally didn't even have enough to offer us, but if they were under such turmoil, that meant things were going to be even worse. It would be akin to having a parasite clinging to our

Keira’s POVThe volume of his voice made me scowl..So he was willing to make this public, wasn't he?Brandon didn't care to listen to his words, in fact he only tightened his grip upon James raising his voice.But I was not going to let this cause more gossip among the pack members.“Brandon, let him go.”Brandon frowned slightly, clearly reluctant.“Are you certain?” he asked, turning to me. James continued to struggle but to no avail.I glanced around, seeing that many were beginning to look, and I nodded.“He isn't worth the trouble. I’d rather not dirty my hands and my name on hi.”As I said this, James sneered in triumph, the fear slowly disappearing from his gaze.“Go on,” he dared Brandon who released him and stepped back.“Come on,” I told Brandon. “I’m hungry and I still have an appetite.”“Alright,” he relented, but gave a glare to James Keer who had begun glaring in my direction.“Good afternoon, Miss,” the hostess at the reception greeted me with a professional smile. “Ta

Keira’s POV I gazed dazedly at my reflection as the makeup artist finished her work. “You are so beautiful, Lady Ashford,” the woman crooned, and the hairstylish also chimed in. “Very exquisite. The dress suits you as well.” The makeup artist’s assistant’s voice was much smaller, but still effused with excitement, “The Alpha is going to lose his mind when he sees you.” I chuckled, blinking at those last words. I turned my head away and thanked them, as they left my bedroom. The time for the party was near, and I had barely rested. I held back the yawn that threatened to leave my lips.Covering my mouth with the back of my hand, I sighed after the feeling passed. I had spent more time working than resting today, but it was a kind of accomplishment that was silent and that I was very proud of.No longer was I the idle young daughter of the Ashford home. I was soon to be Luna of the Ironfa
