"You will give me a male heir," he said.
"You will be the girl."
The girl? A male heir?
My breath caught in my throat. Confusion churned inside me like a storm. I tried to push myself up, but my body ached too much.
He slid down from on top of me and pulled me into his chest, wrapping his arms around me. I didn’t expect gentleness, not after all his harsh words. Yet now, he held me like I was something fragile. Something… his.
My body was sore, every inch of me screaming, but I forced my voice to steady.
"Alpha Kyo," I whispered, lowering my head. "Please... tell me about your wife and child. About the girl you were talking about. Why did you cry that night… and what do you mean by giving you a male heir?"
My heart raced, afraid he would grow angry, bark at me the way he always did.
