“But I thought you liked eating from there with Nina?” I had asked him.

“What I do with Nina is none of your business. You are supposed to cook my meals with your damn hands. Stick to that!”

Another day I put on one of those sexy skimpy dresses Nina usually wore and did a flawless makeup. He had looked me dead in the eye and said, “You look like a cheap whore, go change your clothes. Do not embarrass me in public.”

I remembered my cheeks burning with embarrassment and I swore never to act like his precious Nina again.

At that moment, Nina pouted, her lower lip jutting out as she traced the reddened area on her shoulder.

"Kieran, sweetie, look at this. Selena's brutality is unbearable. Doesn't she know I'm fragile?"

Kieran's attention immediately snapped back to Nina, and his expression darkened. "Selena, you need to apologize right now to Nina."

I let out a derisive snort. "You're not my alpha anymore, Kieran. And I won't apologize. Do your worst!"

Gone was the timid, obedient Selena that Kieran had once known. I was all ready for him now.

Kieran's expression darkened, his brows furrowing in a menacing scowl. "Selena, I won't ask you again. Apologize to Nina, now."
