“My feelings aren’t important,” he grunted out. “Her family has made great contributions to the pack, if they side with me, the others will accept me faster when I become the new Alpha.”
I was hoping he’d at least say he loves me because that was the truth I knew, one he made me believe. But he chose to protect his mate’s feelings at my expense.
“Everyone thinks Alpha Desmond had lost his mind along with his heart when his mate died. I think they’d all agree to have you as Alpha instead. You don’t need Melissa,” Stella insisted.
“Who do you think killed his mate? It was Melissa’s parents. They did it to help me and make their daughter Luna.”
My jaw fell at the revelation. The reason why our Alpha had gone mad was because of my parents? I supported Andro’s goal to usurp Alpha Desmond’s position because I also believed that Desmond was no longer fit for the role due to his cruelty. But was it all because of us?
“Besides, Melissa and I had been together since childhood. I can’t just throw her away,” Andro added.
“But you can’t reject me too. You’re a greedy man, Andro.”
