Chapter Nine

Kyden

It was hard for me to talk about the greatest mistake I’d made since I became Alpha of the Duskblood Pack.

Kindness.

My mistake and my weakness was kindness.

My wolves didn’t talk about it. They knew it would upset me, so they pretended like the past never happened. I had to tell Blue myself, because no one was going to tell her, and then she would be left wondering what kind of man I really was. So, no matter how difficult it was for me to tell her the story, I had to. It was the right thing to do. She’d given herself to me on the first day of our arranged marriage, and she trusted me already. With her well-being, and maybe her life. I owed her the truth.

“I’ve been looking for a mate for years. Eight months ago, I thought I’d found her. The Alpha of another pack had a daughter, and he and my late father used to be friends. So, the Alpha promised me that when his daughter came of age, he would give her to me, so we could be mates. Nothing was set in stone. But there was a chance she could be my match, so we shook hands. Actually, my father did, before he passed away. When the time came, I couldn’t go and bring her myself because we were dealing with the enemy we’re still dealing with today. They were always at our borders, always hunting on our land, and it wasn’t a good time for me to leave the pack. So, I sent my Beta.”

“Logan?”

“No. Back then, my Beta was not Logan. Hallan was his name. I made Hallan my Beta when I became Alpha. I trusted him enough to task him with bringing to me the bride I’d been promised.”

“What happened?”

“He went and did as he was told. But when he came back with her, they were mated. She had been meant for me, and Hallan had broken the rules. He’d taken her for himself. And then he had the gall to return and rub it in my face.”

“Wait. But if he took her for himself, doesn’t this mean they were... fated?”

“Yes.”

“So, was it really intentional? I mean... their betrayal?”

I sighed. “It wasn’t, I know that. And that is why I pardoned both of them. By all the rules of the wolves, I should’ve never forgiven such a betrayal. The Beta has to put his Alpha first, even when his own life or happiness is in danger. Hallan should’ve brought her to me, and then I would’ve seen that we weren’t a match, and then he would’ve been free to make his move. The fact that he returned mated to her was disrespectful. He’d claimed a female who had been intended for me, his Alpha.”

“I see. Okay, I think I’m starting to understand how pack dynamics work.”

I nodded and continued to draw circles with my fingers on her back.

“I forgave them both and exiled them. Hallan begged me to let him stay.
