I had tried to emulate Nina’s behavior, to be the carefree, spontaneous partner that Kieran seemed to crave, but he told me I was making a fool out of myself.
I noticed that he seemed to enjoy eating take outs and trying out new and expensive restaurants with Nina. So, I decided to search online on one of the five star restaurants he normally visited. I ordered one of his favorite dishes and had it sent to our doorstep. When he got home that day, he took one look at the food after spying the packs at the corner and his face went dark. He asked where I got it from and I genuinely told him. He was livid and asked who gave me the right to order expensive food from an expensive restaurant like that with his credit card?
“But I thought you liked eating from there with Nina?” I had asked him.
“What I do with Nina is none of your business. You are supposed to cook my meals with your damn hands. Stick to that!”
Another day I put on one of those sexy skimpy dresses Nina usually wore and did a flawless makeup. He had looked me dead in the eye and said, “You look like a cheap whore, go change your clothes. Do not embarrass me in public.”
I remembered my cheeks burning with embarrassment and I swore never to act like his precious Nina again.
At that moment, Nina pouted, her lower lip jutting out as she traced the reddened area on her shoulder.
"Kieran, sweetie, look at this. Selena's brutality is unbearable. Doesn't she know I'm fragile?"
Kieran's attention immediately snapped back to Nina, and his expression darkened. "Selena, you need to apologize right now to Nina."
I let out a derisive snort. "You're not my alpha anymore, Kieran. And I won't apologize. Do your worst!"
Gone was the timid, obedient Selena that Kieran had once known. I was all ready for him now.
Kieran's expression darkened, his brows furrowing in a menacing scowl. "Selena, I won't ask you again. Apologize to Nina, now."
The very thought made my blood boil. "No," I said firmly. "She's the one who deserves to apologize, not me."
"Selena, don't test me. You know what will happen if you disobey me."
I laughed bitterly. "Guess what? I don't give a damn about your threats anymore."
I could see the fury flash in Kieran's eyes, his control slipping slightly. "Guards!" he barked in a commanding tone. "Restrain her."
