Chapter 170

Fiona POV

“I want your daughter but not for the reason’s you might think.”

11)

Alpha Max’s voice is sure and confident as he addresses Regan and her two mates, his head bowing respectfully, Celene on the other hand, looks panicked and continually glances towards the doorway of the study, the only exit that’s available to her. I doubt she’s stupid enough to try and run for it, but there’s no telling with her. Regan takes a deep breath. “Viby we you so desperate to have Celeste? If it’s to do with punishing her…” she began, and Alpha Max norted, taking her back a the slight snub or show of rudeness to her.

“Oh, she’ll be punished alright for what she did,” he said softly, pinning Celste with a gaze and causing her to halt in her tracks. “but that’s now why I want her. I’m a man who always fulfills his responsibilities” he explained tightly as I shot a confused glance at my own mate, wondering where on earth the Alpha was going with this. “I don’t shy away from what is my duty,” he continued, while Regan and the others stared at him dumbfounded, “and as much as I despise what your daughter did, I still have a duty to her.”

He sounds slightly peeved at the thought of it. What was going on in this man’s mind exactly? What was it that had him looking so angry and resigned at the same time? I felt as though asking him would only further his resentment and instead turned to the thoughts that kept whirling inside my mind.

A duty to Celeste. Was I hearing this correctly? What kind of possible duty could he have to her, unless he thought it was only right, he married her simply because they had slept together. I knew a lot of alphas could feel that way if the girl they slept with happened to be a virgin. I feel sorry for the man, and I give the Alpha a sympathetic look, admiring him for trying to do the right thing even though it was not necessary in this case. Celeste was hardly a blushing virgin. She had spread her legs for more men than I could keep count. She was certainly no innocent either. “Alpha Max” I say calmly as my Regan and the two twins don’t speak for a moment, “just because you slept together, it doesn’t mean you are required to take her as your bride or wife. I can assure you,” I added nastily, ignoring Regan’s chiding look, “my sister was no blushing virgin, so you can be rest assured you have no responsibility for her in that regard.”

I deliberately slide my gaze over to my sister, who is incensed at my statement. “Fiona, you bitch,” she hissed. “How dare you speak about me like that,” she cries.

I’m so tired of her playing the victim. She’s a good actress but surely nobody was buying her bullshit any longer.

I give her a cold smile designed to chill her to the core. Regan cleared her throat, ignoring her daughter for the moment. “Do you mean to take her as your wife?” she asked tersely.
