TimeNovelChapter One Hundred and Seventeen ALEXANDER'S POV I couldn't bear to look at her. I chlate and left earlwe hadn't had a real conversation since we returned a week ago. She had tried starting one a few times but after noticing my lack of interest, she stopped trying.
I should get over this and move on. After all, I had been with other women too-but that was before Kaida and I becmore than just unwilling companions. What hurtthe most wasn't the act itself, but the fact that she hadn't said a word about it. I had waited for her to finally gather the courage to speak up, only to realize she was going to pretend nothing had happened-like she hadn't broken my trust. And that was what annoyedthe most.
I would have forgiven her, damn, I still would- if she spoke about it.

Usually, women, liquor, and violence were my only ways to let off steam. But despite what Kaida had done, I couldn't bring myself to go pay any of those women a visit... I just couldn't do it. I let out a groan; she was messing with my head, and she didn't even know it.
I took another gulp of alcohol, the sharp burn of wolf's bane stronger in this bottle. In a way, I was punishing myself just as much as I was punishing her with my silence The knock on the door drew my attention.
I leaned back in my seat as Austin let Käte into my office.
"Ethan," she called out with a wide smile. I distinctly remember telling her never to use that name, but I chose not to correct her. I knew why she was here-to informthey were leaving-so perhaps I could let it slide, considering they'd be gone soon anyway.
☐ "Kate," I acknowledged, but I couldn't bring myself to return the smile.
"Are you alright?" She asked; The softness in her voice annoyed me. Did she think she could pop out of nowhere and play the motherly role? "Why are you here?" I asked, not bothering to answer her question.
www.* "I was... I wanted to talk to you." About leaving? I didn't say that part out loud-I let her continue. "I was wrong earlier. You are nothing like your father. Thane was a completely different man; Riley had brought skind of softness into his once stony heart. But you are different; you have the ability to feel, you have more control than he or Slade ever had, and I believe you would make a better ruler." In summary, she meant I was weak. Feelings made people weak; I was well aware of that. I didn't have any response for her, but she didn't seem to be expecting any.
"We are grateful that you let us stay here; we wish we could stay longer, but unfortunately we can't. We will be Teaving by nightfall tomorrow." "Safe travels." She stared at me, as if expecting more; I had nothing else to say, and slowly she nodded and rose to her feet before walking through the door and away from the office.
