Chapter One Hundred and Five

ALEXANDER'S POV

I knew what was happening the moment I felt the pain-Kaida was having sex.

The day I took her virginity, I vowed to change-for her. Now, I was reconsidering that very promise. It didn't take a genius to figure out who she was with: her beta, Aric, I was going to fucking kill him, but then again, Kaida considered him as family. I should be angry at her, but yet here I sat wondering if this was what she was forced to bear when I was with other women.

Could this be her own way of getting back at me? I did deserve it, no doubt, but I had believed that Kadia and I had formed something together, a bond or at least an agreement. I was wrong.

A thought flashed past my mind; what if she wasn't willing doing this? What if she was being forced? Fuck.

Kaida couldn't be forced to do anything- she was a force to be reckoned with and she hadn't gone alone, she had taken him along. Still, I didn't like the idea of sitting here and doing nothing, I wanted to go find her, for all I know she could be in trouble.

Her words ran again in my mind. Trust-she wanted me to trust her.

Four days had passed, and I promised myself if she wasn't back in a week, I was going to find her. One week was all I was going to give her, but if she was indeed in danger, was there any need for waiting? But then, what if there was no danger and being alone with Aric had been enough temptation for her to fall?

She had always been very close to him and it was no secret the fucker had feelings for her; this was the most reasonable assumption. Perhaps all I needed was an excuse to hunt him down, and make him pay for touching her; I didn't care if she had agreed to it.

I downed another glass of liquor. The heightened dose of wolf's bane in this bottle made the pain worse- but I needed to feel it; Pain was the only thing keeping me sane right now.

Betrayal stung so bad; I was a fool to think I had gotten away with all I made her suffer, to think she could have forgiven me that so easily. I was so mad at her, still I hoped she had a damn good explanation. For the first time in my life, I felt used. Could she have planned all this? Did all those words she said to me mean anything at all?

I wanted her to feel the pain I felt; I wanted her to suffer for her actions, but knowing myself, I would forgive her if she asked for it. Because around Kaida I was so damned weak.

Fuck it. I was going to trace her and find her, no more waiting, I had lost my patience.

*KADIA POV*

I walked down the stairs to meet Aric.

"How was your night?" he asked, curious eyes on me.

"Relaxing." I answered with a small frown. It was strange; I always spend my nights overthinking, but last night I fell into a long dreamless slumber.

"I'm glad to hear that." He responded.

"You sound strange, are you alright?" I asked, he seemed a bit unsettled to me.

"Strange, how?"

Chapter One Hundred and Five

"I can't explain it just forget I asked that question. Every hing feels off today; I feel like I'm missing something, But I can't quite put my finger on it."

"You've been stressed lately, working late nights-that should explain why you feel that way." He said. I joined him on the couch; the table was littered with papers, files, and pictures. "You've been busy." "Yes, and it turns out we don't have five days. I miscalculated. We will be leaving today, two hours from now; you should get ready.

My heart slammed in my chest. I nodded, rising to my feet. Aric... this is my assignment; if anything goes wrong... leave."

Aric didn't respond; of course I knew he would never leave, he was just too stubborn; he would rather we died together.noveldrama

My thoughts trailed back to Thane. The sooner we get this over with, the faster I can return to him.
