What the fuck? He was supposed to be dealing with that Alpha brat for

me.

“He’s been ousted from the Academy. Apparently, he was harassing Cyra’s fated mate. But more than that, he was taking bribes, letting kids into the Academy that shouldn’t have been admitted. You wouldn’t know anything about that, would you?” he asks me.

“Are you implying that Cyra didn’t qualify on her own merits for admission? My daughter was accepted because of the woman and Alpha she

is.”

“I didn’t say anything about Cyra. I know my future mate is intelligent and a strong warrior. I was just making sure that Leo being gone wasn’t

problem for you. You know you’re still responsible for ensuring that Cyra completes this alliance bond.”

“I’m well aware of the requirements of the alliance bond. I don’t need any reminders,” I snarl.

“If you say so,” he says, smugly before hanging up.

The little shit. Who the fuck does he think he is?

‘He’s the man whose brother holds our balls in his hands,’ my wolf, Ceaser growls.

He’s been unhappy with me for a long time. He didn’t like me embezzling, but he didn’t get angry until I started using that money to gamble. Gambling led to me partying with women and when you throw money around, women flock to you. It started out because I was lonely and missing my mate. But gambling had quickly become an infatuation for me. I loved how people treated me when I had lots of money. They would fall over themselves to make me happy, do anything and everything that I asked.

‘Yeah? Where are they now?‘ Ceaser snaps.

They’re gone, that’s where they are. They only lasted as long as the money did. I kept thinking that I’d win big and then I could repay the money I took, but every time I did win, I just spent it again.

‘And who is paying the price for your fucking poor decisions?‘ he snarls in

my

head.

And this is where Ceaser has become nearly unbearable. He is furious with me for what he calls ‘selling his daughter to the devil to save my

soul‘.

‘Stellan will treat her well,‘ I say, hoping that I’m right.

He snorts. ‘Stellan is a piece of shit, He’s no better than his brother. He threatened you to get what he wants. You’re more of a fool than I realized if you don’t think he’ll do that same to MY daughter.‘

She is no longer our daughter. She’s his daughter. He feels I’ve lost the right to call her mine.

‘No one treats their own child so poorly,‘ he growls, prowling around in my head. That has also become much more common, Caesar being angry and agitated.

‘Chosen mates can be just as good as fated mates,‘ I snap at him.

‘How would you know? You never gave us a chance to find ours and now you’re taking that right away from our daughter. She HAS found her
