Mated to My Fiancé’s Alpha King Brother

Chapter 130

Chapter 130

Damien’s POV 1

The moment Sera walked away from me, something in my chest went tight and cold. I watched her push

through the crowd toward the terrace doors, her shoulders rigid with the kind of tension that meant she was

barely holding herself together.

*Fuck.*

I wanted to follow her. Every instinct I had was screaming at me to go after her, to pull her into my arms and

fix whatever was broken. But she’d asked me not to follow, and I’d learned to respect that request over the past few months.

Even when it killed me.

man was built like a linebacker despite being in his seventies, his silver hair perfectly groomed and his

expensive suit tailored to accommodate his still-impressive frame.

“Henry.” I forced a smile, though it felt like my face might crack from the effort. “Good to see you.”

“Likewise, son, likewise.” He clapped me on the shoulder with enough force to stagger a normal human.

“Beautiful party, isn’t it? Young love and all that.”
