He studied me for a moment but didn’t press further. “I will join you soon. I need to wash up.”
As soon as the bathing room door closed, his crystal communicator lit up on the bedside table. I glanced at it, then at the closed door. Without hesitation, I picked it up and entered Navielle’s birthday. It unlocked.
My breath caught as I scrolled through his messages. Then I saw her name. Navielle with a heart mark.
I opened it, and my stomach twisted.
Navielle: [I already miss you. When will we meet again? I will tell Keegan I am going to visit my sister.]
Razen: [Tomorrow, my love. I will tell Nivella I have Alpha duties to handle.]
Tears slipped down my face as I kept reading.
Navielle: [I am tired of hiding. I want us together.]
Razen: [Soon. Once I take my place as Alpha King of Blackspire Pack, I will claim you fully. No one will stand between us again.]
I covered my mouth, trying to stop the sound that almost broke free.
From their messages, they had been together every time she came to visit me. All those times she said she missed me. It was all a lie.
My mate still loved his first mate. My own sister.
I locked the crystal communicator and set it back, my hands trembling with anger.
