NovelEnglishChapter Two Hundred and Thirteen KAIDA'S POV I walked into Alexander's office.
"On a scale of one to ten, how busy are you?" I asked.
"I'll always have tfor you, Kaida," he said, shutting the file and setting it aside, givinghis full attention. I couldn't help but smile at that.
"I wanted to ask about Austin." "Seriously, Kaida? Here I was thinking this was your way of invitingto sex." I stared at him. "We just did that a few minutes ago!" He shrugged. "That was in the bedroom. Heard office sex hits different." I stared at his table. It would be sexy to watch him clear off that table and placeright...
Austin. I was here to talk about Austin.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"So. What about Austin?" "I want to know more about him." Alexander cocked his brow at me, surprise-flickering in his gaze.
"You want to know more about him?" he repeated.
I realized I hadn't exactly phrased that the best way.
"I just feel like I don't know enough about the people around me. Like I never knew Phil didn't have a mate until he toldhe found his mate at the ball." I paused, unsure if Phil would wantsharing that, but Alexander was my mate-and his Alpha.
If Alexander hadn't heard the news about Phil, he didn't let on.
"Well, Austin is mated. His mate, Ruth, is a healer in the Winter Pack." "Why didn't she cto stay with him here, in the Nightshade Pack?" "She loves her job, but more than that, she also loves her pack. She wasn't willing to let go of that yet." "Not even for her mate?" I asked.
"She wanted him there, by her side, but he couldn't leave either. So, it's only fair." I nodded in agreement.
"You see, I'm supposed to know things like that. What kind of Luna does that makeif I don't even know anything about the people close to me?" "If it helps, many don't know about this either.
But why are you worrying about all of these now?" he asked-of course, Alexander hardly missed anything.
"Because I keep wondering if Cynthia's right. Maybe I'm just a self-centered bitch." "Cynthia's words aren't something you should be worried about, don't you think?" 1/2 Chapter Two hundred and ThirlSen "I know. But it just feels like she is right. I mean, most of the time-" My sentence was cut off by the sharp rap on the door. I walked over, pulling it open, and there stood a soldier. "Luna. Alpha. I think there's something you need to see." The soldier led us to the pack's square, where many members had already gathered.
They parted like the Red Sea for Alexander to walk through and then...
I saw it. Keith's body hung from one of the poles.

"He did this to himself, Luna. Took his own life." The soldier's words hitlike a blow, and I couldn't breathe. My throat felt like it was closing in.
"Kaida, are you alright?" I couldn't say a word. Without thinking, I turned and ran. Alexander was right behind me.
"Kaida..." "It's my fault." "What do you mean it's your fault?" "He cto speak to me; he wanted to apologize. I sent him away. He had been feeling guilty, and he cto away." plead for mercy, and I sent him "Kaida, this is not your fault."
"Stop defending me. I am the reason he's dead. If I had forgiven him, if I had at least spoken to him, none of this would have happened."
"You didn't owe him anything, not after what he did. If he chose to end ΟΠ his life, that was his decision, and it's in no way your fault." Alexander tucked a rogue strand of hair behind my ear. "What are we going to do?" I asked, unable to keep the slight trembling away from my voice.
"First, we take him down from there, then we give him a befitting byrjah" He said pressing a soft kiss to my Xoft lips. "You don't have to go back with me, you know." "I know. But I want to be there." mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
