Elaine POV
“The Ryker Alpha? Damn, he’s actually here?”
I nodded. This can’t be good. This means Nik’s here too. Did Blazer rat me out? He wouldn’t. He’s been so helpful lately and understanding but my Father was a hard man. He demanded respect and loyalty constantly.
I’d broken his sacred rules to always respect him and I wasn’t loyal. Not anymore.
My money was on Avena. No matter what I told my Dad about Avena he’d never believe me.
“Wait, are you sure we should go in there? These two hate each other!”
“I’m caught in the middle Rae. I should have married Neel and kept my mouth shut but I fell in love with Azaire.”
“You didn’t do anything wrong. I wouldn’t have batted a lash at the Alpha who braids his beard. You two have a beautiful thing going on.”
Dad didn’t see it that way nei
