| bit my lower lips, furious. Ellis was right. | had chances to tell him, but | didn’t because | loathed him and wanted to somehow punish him. It was selfish on my part, but | won’t admit it.
“You chose Ellis, and it wasn’t me. By doing so, you relinquished any rights to them,” | said slowly, looking him in the eye. | glanced at Charlotte who had a new victorious smile on her lips.

he gripped my arm. He furiously pressed buttons and the elevator.
What do you think you’re doing?” asked, angry. He was breathing heavily.
Why don’t you wantin their lives? I’m their father, and we were all alright in the morning. What changed?” he asked.

Confusing the kids... Just which birdy whispered in your ear? Letguess, David. He threw a jealousy tantrum, and he told you this would confuse the kids, and you listened. Since when does he have so much power over your life, Love,” a

Love,” he exhaled. | knitted my eyebrows in confusion. He knew me, but | didn’t know him. He carefully placedon my feet, and | murmured.
“Thank you,” he was looking atwith peculiar interest.
“You're welcome, Love,” he said my nfondly again in his smooth English accent. His gaze madeuneasy, and his vibe was dangerous and cun ning. There was something wrong about this man.
How do you know my name?” | asked politely.

family.
Oh, what is your name?” | inquired. He seemed to be in deep thought before answering.
“Maleck Carter,” he extended his hand to me. | didn’t shake it immediately. I'd heard about this man. He was Ellis’ cousin and ha been causing trouble for them. He thinks he deserves to be alpha since he’s older, and his father was supposed to, but Alpha Blan took the position.
“| see from the look on your face that you’ve heard about me,” he said. My phone rang, and Lilac’s npopped up on the screen. They were getting impatient.
Excuse me, | should get going,” | said and moved past him. He followedwith his gaze. | could feel it burn through me, and a cold shiver went throughout my body. Maleck waved as the elevator closed, and | exhaled. | went to the top floor, my thoughts on Maleck.
