Rejected Slave To The Alpha by Gory Anna

Chapter 72

Nelly’s POV.

I opened my mouth to speak, but before I could utter a word, I caught Kex’s eye. Hist expression was smug, and it made my blood boil.

“Kex,” I said, my voice low and dangerous.

“Hmm?” he hummed, feigning innocence. I knew he was enjoying this, the mischief sparkling in his eyes.

“You’re joking, right?” I asked, my voice cracking with emotion. “There’s no way you would let them go to war, right?”

Kex’s expression softened, but his eyes were still cold and calculating.

“There will be war, Nelly,” He said, his tone leaving no room for argument.

I felt my heart sink, the implications of his words weighing heavily on me. I knew what this meant – bloodshed, destruction, and suffering. And all for what?

I felt my anger simmering beneath the surface, threatening to boil over. I took a deep breath, struggling to keep my composure.

“War isn’t the solution, Kex,” I said, my voice quivering. “You just need to let him know that you killed his late beta because he killed yours. It was in self–defense.” He let out a short laugh, the sound hollow and cold.

“Oh, darling,” he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. “It’s not that simple. I’m not a coward. If he wants war, then he’ll get it.”

I felt his hands on my waist, pulling me close. I tried to push him away, but he was too

strong.

“War isn’t good, Kex,” I said, my voice pleading.

“What are you scared of? That I’ll lose, or…?” He trailed off, unable to finish his thought. His gaze was dark, and I knew he was searching for the truth. I swallowed hard, trying to find the words to explain.

“It’s not about winning or losing,” I said, finally finding my voice. “I’m scared of the innocent lives that will be lost. All because of pride.”

My words hung in the air, heavy with emotion. I held my breath, waiting for his
