Chapter 29

Chapter 29.

Nelly’s POV.

Alpha Kex’s eyes were ablaze as he stalked toward me. My heart was racing, my limbs frozen with fear. I stumbled backward until my back hit the wall. I was trapped, and I knew there was nowhere to run.

Alpha Kex’s body was mere inches from mine, his breath hot on my face. I felt my hands trembling as he reached out, his sharp claws digging into my arms. I felt the warm trickle of blood, and I tried to steady my breathing. I had to find a way out of this.

“Alpha…….. Kex, you are hurting me,” I stammered, my words trembling with fear.

Alpha Kex’s grip on me loosened, but I still couldn’t catch my breath. “All of you, leave the room now,” he commanded.

Aisha scurried out, and Emily lingered by the door, her eyes wide with terror.

“Please, go,” he said to her, his voice softer now, but still firm. Emily turned and hurried out of the room, leaving me alone with Alpha Kex.

“Why did you spike the food?” he roared, his voice booming in the small room. I stared at him, my mouth agape.

“I–I didn’t,” I stuttered, my voice barely a whisper.

He took a step toward me, his eyes flashing with anger. “You know how much I hate lies,” he said, his voice low and menacing. “Tell me the truth, now.” I flinched, my body trembling.

“Speak!” he roared, his voice echoing off the walls.

“Why would you think I would spike your food and still lie to you?” I stammered, my voice shaking.

“Because,” he said, his voice low and dangerous, “you didn’t know that Emily saw you.”

My throat was dry, and I swallowed hard. “Emily?” I managed to say, my voice barely audible.

“Yes, Emily,” he thundered, his eyes dark and furious.

I stood there, my mind whirling, trying to make sense of it all. Why would Emily lie to Alpha Kex? And how could I possibly explain my innocence when he was so clearly convinced of my guilt?
