A Mate’s Betrayal

CATHERINE.

I look up when the door opens and although I’m expecting Skyla, my son’s mate, it’s not her, but Kenneth. 2

His face is pale as he stares at Royce in shock before that changes to relief in his eyes at

the sight of our son.

Oh, if only he knows that even our little baby girl is alive! 2

“Royce… you’re alive… I got worried…” he says as he slowly enters the room. “I sensed your emotions, Catherine… I…

slightly as if shielding her from Kenneth’s

And even Royce steps forward, blocking her

from view.

I find it odd. Does she not want to meet him?

But something is definitely wrong. Even Marcel’s demeanour has changed.

“I am alive. Are you surprised, Father?” Royce asks quietly.

“What is the meaning of this? Why are you meeting like this? Why did you lie about being dead?” Dad asks as he looks between Royce and me. His eyes glimmer with anger.

“He’s alive, Ken! What more do we need? And, there’s more. Do you know who else is alive?” I say as I close the gap between us and cup his face. I’m unable to hold back the happiness I feel.

He needs to know our baby girl is here!

“Not now Mom… because I assure you, you

will want to hear the rest of the rest of the story before proceeding.” Royce’s calm,

almost cold voice makes me look at him sharply. 1

The unease that something isn’t right about

all of this is only growing inside of me.

“I want to know why you put us through this, Royce?” Kenneth’s voice is sharp as he watches Royce intently. “What have you been planning?”

Planning? Why does he think that he’s planning anything?

“Ken…”

“My mate is not responding. I need to find her.” Royce says quietly. “As for the answer you seek; that is something only Aleric can answer. Unless you already know, Father. Are you really surprised, or is it an act?”

My heart is pounding violently at the coldness in Royce’s voice, and I turn to Kenneth.

Why is it almost as if Royce is trying to insinuate he knows something or is somehow behind him having to fake his death…

Kenneth didn’t know, that much I am

certain of from the look in his eyes.

Confusion, annoyance, curiosity, and anger.

“Royce. We may not see eye to eye, but your are my son, and I would, of course, want you alive.”

“You only care for me because of the power I hold,” Royce says.
