TimeNovelChapter One Hundred and Eighteen The sun had begun to set as I approached Aric in the field; thankfully, the place was completely empty of people.
"I knew I would be seeing you soon." Aric said with a smile "I had been waiting for you; I almost thought you chickened out." "I had sex with her," he said abruptly, and despite the fact that I already knew that, hearing it from the man who she had fucked only made it all worse.
"I should have known you'd take your chance the moment you were left alone with her." "For all you know, she might have been the one begging for it. Maybe you weren't enough to satisfy her, or perhaps... she was craving something different." I've always excelled at keeping my emotions in check, but this tit took everything into keep calm. I was one step away from cracking his skull.

He hadn't expected it; I grabbed his arm, snapping it. He let out a growl. "You broke my arm, you fucker!" I punched him again in the face, satisfied at the crunch of his nose; I watched him drop to the floor.
I was aiming to injure, not to kill—at least not yet. "Get close to her again and your arm won't be the only thing I'll be breaking." "What if she wants more?" He questioned, "What if you are not good enough for her?" I walked towards him and squatted to his level.
"I've always wondered about the relationship between you and the late Alpha Trent," I said, and that seemed to catch him off guard.
"I was his beta." "Yes, you were. You spent most of your life fighting by his side, alongside his daughter and the rest of the pack. Even if he didn't think she should be the next Alpha, everyone assumed you would take his place-maybe even wed his daughter, and the two of you would rule together. But to him, you were never an option. The question is, why was that?" "I don't have Alpha blood running through my veins." He said, stating the obvious, "Besides, you are her fated mate; you would have cfor her anyway." He added, glancing at his arm which now hung in the wrong position, he would heal... after a while.
I had discovered that Kaida was my fated mate a long tago and I made no move; Alpha Trent's proposition had been the only reason I decided to take things into the next stage. I wondered if I would have gone for Kaida i end if the deal hadn't forced us together.
"I don't trust you very much, and I believe neither did Trent. Despite you being his Beta, he didn't really trust you; if he did, you would have known about his plans; he would have told you, but he didn't." "What are you implying?" he asked, a pained look on his face. I didn't know what hurt him more-the broken arm and bleeding nose or my words.
"After Trent's death, I had sent you to run a quick check on the pack house; you did, and you found nothing. But 1/2 Chapter One Hundred and Eightsen +25 BONUS
suddenly, the dwarf man goes in there and finds a very conspicuous the envelope sitting on the floor-the very place you supposedly checked and saw nothing.

I felt his eyes onas I walked away.
"I guess I am no longer Commander?" He called out to me.
"Why would I strip you of your position?" I questioned leaving him speechless.
He might be a suspect, but having him close was the better option; this way, I could watch over him, just as I had been doing to the ex-advisors I sent out of the council. So far so good; they've not been a problem. I was not a fool to think it was safe to let them be; they might be waiting for a chance; it was my duty to make sure they never got any.
