Chapter 16

MIRANDA.

Even before I found out Dexter was my mate, I was already attracted to him. But he was just a Beta, and I dreamed of bigger things.

I wanted to be a Luna.

Dexter was smart enough not to tell anyone that I was his mate until we were able to find time to talk.

Since Khalid and I were not fated mates, even if in the end he marked me, he was not able to feel my infidelity. The same way Dexter never felt anything whenever I had sex with Khalid.

Only fated mates who marked each other could feel their mate's infidelity. Without the bond sealed by marking, everyone was free to fuck around.

So I fucked around behind my husband's back.

Sex with Dexter was explosive. From the get-go, I knew I wanted him, but I also wanted this pack. So there was no way I was leaving Khalid for him.

I did my best to make him understand. I swayed him to continue with our pretension that we had nothing while formulating a plan together. Besides, Dexter didn't want to step down from his position. Like me, he dreamed of bigger things. Khalid entrusted me to Dexter during my trips outside of the pack. He had no idea I scheduled those trips so I could have a taste of Dexter without interruption.

Then, the day I'd been waiting for finally came. Khalid died. Given that Kael was only twenty-four at the time, the right process was for Dexter to become Alpha until Kael turned twenty-five, the ripe age for handling a pack.

But I thought that once Dexter stepped up as Alpha, we could cast out Kael.

However, I underestimated Kael. He raised his concern with the Alpha King and sent proof that he was capable of handling the pack, and his request was granted right away.
