Chapter 257

~Alpha King Kaid’s POV~

I watched Zara storm off as her words still rang in my ears. Her threat had been clear, her fury intense—and her eyes... those flashing red eyes were etched into my mind.

I turned my gaze to Delia, who remained standing by the bench; her normally confident posture stiffened as though she’d seen a ghost.

"What was that all about?" I demanded as I strode over to her.

Delia flinched at the sharpness in my tone, but her startled expression quickly morphed into her usual smirk. "Oh, nothing," she said, waving a dismissive hand.

I wasn’t buying it. I heard all their conversation loud and clear. My brows furrowed as I stepped closer, letting my aura weigh down on her.

"It’s not nothing. Zara was clearly pissed, which means you must have done something wrong," I thundered.

Delia scoffed, tossing her auburn hair over her shoulder. "Look at you," she said mockingly, her tone dripping with disdain. "Angry and defensive—of someone else, no less. You’re more concerned about her than your own blood."

Her attempt at guilt-tripping struck a nerve, but I refused to let her steer the conversation. "Don’t play that card with me, Delia," I warned her, and she knew better than to try and test my patience.

"Why?" Delia shot back, raising a defiant brow. "Too afraid it’s working? Because, let’s be honest, Kaid—you’re more interested in someone else’s wife than your own family. Admit it."

Her words hit harder than I wanted to admit, but I didn’t let it show. Instead, I took another step closer, my eyes narrowing.

"Stop steering the conversation around, Delia. What the fuck did you do, Delia?"

"Nothing happened," she snapped, her smirk fading into a glare. "Why don’t you go ask your little girl crush if you’re so concerned?"

My jaw tightened, and my patience was wearing thin. "You’re lying," I said bluntly. "I know you, Delia. I know how your mind works. So, I’ll ask you one last time—what did you say to Zara?"

Delia crossed her arms, her defiance unshaken. "Fine. You want to know?"

"Yes, tell me."

"Sure. Don’t go blaming me that your girl crush ain’t no saint." My gaze darkened further. "I overheard some things. Interesting things about some prophecy, about uniting Lycans and werewolves. That’s all."

My fists clenched at my sides as her words confirmed my suspicions. "You overheard?" I repeated it coldly, and still, all of Zara’s threats fell on deaf ears.

I expected Delia not to tell me anything if she was scared enough, but the dimwit of a cousin I have failed.

"Yes," she said smugly, tilting her chin up. "And what’s the big deal? If she didn’t want people to know, she should’ve been more careful." _{freewёbnoνel.com}
