Hiding the Alpha's Heir (Desmond and Seraphina) novel Chapter 21

I clenched my teeth. The anger I felt that time when I learned that he wasn't being faithful to me, was enough to remember those memories. "Why don't you find it out yourself?!" I screamed back.

I couldn't let this man shout at me like he was some sort of my Alpha. I never belonged to any pack now.

With Desmon's blazing eyes, I could tell that he was holding back to hurt me physically. He stepped back as he heaved out a hiss, looking pissed right now. "We must go." He glared at me before he opened his palm.

I fixed myself and stared at it. I hadn't recovered from his actions earlier and he wanted me to act now that we were fine just like the past few days? Is he insane?

"Hold my hand or I shall not allow you to leave my place ever again. Choose," he warned.

That made me shiver. Hesitant, I accepted his hand. It was because I had no choice but to obey. Sander would be worried about me if Desmond had become truthful to his words.

"Why don't you bring your lover with you instead of me? I still have work to do," I said when we were in his carriage.

Desmond, as gentleman as ever, helped me to mount his carriage. "She is busy. That is why I will have you as her substitute," he said. I noticed the sudden change of coldness in his tone.

I froze. So, was he really with his lover? Did I hear him right? Then I was her substitute? And we even made a mess in her room?

"Are you insane?" I could feel my blood boil. This atmosphere right now... I wanted to ruin it over and over.

Desmond checked his pocket watch, ignoring me. "We still have time."

"Desmond!" I raised my tone, grabbing his attention.

His cold gaze darted on me. "Is being my lover's substitute not enough for you? Or you are waiting for me to claim that you are my courtesan, Seraphina?" I opened my mouth to talk back. "You are my personal courtesan. You must pay back all the things I lost since you left my pack. Do not act innocent as if you have never done this to any other man."
