Chapter 214

~Kaid’s POV~

The air in the mall felt stifling the moment Zara walked away. I stood frozen, her absence pulling at something deep within me. My chest ached, though I refused to let it show.

My wolf growled. He was clearly not pleased with how things have become and neither was I.

"Alpha," Richard suddenly called softly, placing a hand on my shoulder. His voice was calm, but the disappointment in his eyes made my brows knit in frustration.

"I believe we should get going."

Without a word, I followed him toward the exit, my boots echoing loudly against the polished tiles. As we stepped into the parking lot, my gaze instinctively darted to the side close to the sleek black car parked a few rows away.

I saw them.

Snow helped her into his car before rounding the corner to join in. That wasn’t all.

They seemed to have spoken shortly and then Snow held her close, his arms wrapping around her protectively as she buried her face in his chest. My stomach tightened, and my fists clenched at my sides.

When she leaned up, her lips found his in a kiss that was far too intimate for my comfort, something inside me snapped.

"Alpha..." Richard began, noticing my stiffened posture.

"Get in the passenger seat," I barked, sharply.

"What?" Richard frowned.

I strode toward him, snatching the keys from his hand before he could protest. "Go. Passenger’s seat. Now."

Richard hesitated, his gaze flickering toward Snow and Zara still locked in their embrace. He sighed heavily but complied, stepping aside without another word.

The car roared to life, and I tore out of the parking lot, the tyres screeching against the asphalt. The engine’s growl matched the storm brewing inside me.

The road blurred as I pressed harder on the accelerator, my grip on the steering wheel tightening until my knuckles turned white.

For a while, Richard stayed silent, likely sensing my mood. But after several miles of tense quiet, he finally spoke.

"You’re mad about this?" His voice was even, though his words carried an edge. "I can’t believe you have the nerve after using allure on her."

"Shut up, Richie," I snapped in a warning tone.

"No." His defiance was immediate, and it only fueled the fire burning in my chest.

I turned my head briefly to glare at him. "I said shut up."

"And I said no." His voice rose slightly, his frustration finally bubbling to the surface. "You keep acting like the world owes you something, Kaid. You used allure. You played dirty. And now you’re angry because it didn’t work?"

I slammed the brakes, the car screeching to an abrupt halt on the side of the empty road. The sudden force sent Richard lurching forward before he caught himself against the dashboard.

"Kaid, what the hell?" he barked.

Ignoring him, I shoved the door open and stepped out, my breathing heavy and uneven. The cool air hit my face, but it did little to quell the storm raging inside me.
