Chapter 54

KAEL.

The moment Brooke entered the shop, I knew she was trouble. I had no idea if she was among the ones sent by Draco to find us, but I wasn't taking chances.

She belonged to his pack and was part of his Delta's Shield-the top security squad of a pack.

Brooke also attended the Alpha Academy as she belonged to an affluent family. I was sure Draco had been ignoring her existence until she hooked up with me, and the next thing I knew, he was fucking her too.

So, I cut off all ties with her, and he eventually moved on from her as well. It only went to show that Draco had an obsession with taking females from my arms-whether I was serious with them or not.

I knew this was the reason he was after Adessa.

I discreetly removed my ring, not wanting Brooke to associate me with my wife in case she was sent to track us.

Like I believed it would happen, she showed interest in me, whether ordered by Draco or she was simply flirting.

I heard the door to the restroom open, and my heart stopped. I didn't want Adessa to approach me.

She didn't, but I saw her expression whenever I glanced at her when Brooke wasn't looking. She was upset. As much as I wanted to think she was jealous, I couldn't focus on it. I had more things to think of at the moment. I paid attention to the surroundings, wanting to check if Brooke was alone.

And then Adessa left the shop. I almost grabbed her back, but I was able to restrain myself.
