Chapter 11: A Vulnerable Eve
Malakai’s eyes burned, intimidating his brother and Caius suddenly let go of Eve.
"Blackmailing Malakai won’t do me any good," Eve said. "I’m not stupid."
Caius eyed her and shot Malakai a stern look. "Why would you tell her what you are?" He was pissed off. "First you marry her and then you tell her your entire secret. Are you crazy?"
Before Malakai could respond, Eve chirped in, saying, "He didn’t tell me. I figured it out."
"You...figured out?" Caius raised a brow at her and chuckled. "How exactly? Humour me."
She turned toward Malakai and stepped closer to him until she could lift her hand and touch his chest. "You have something on you."
Malakai furrowed his brows at her. "On me?"
"Yes. I don’t know what it is, I can’t pinpoint it, I don’t think it’s something I’ve ever seen before, but whatever it is, it’s like a mask, reducing the potency of your scents and pheromones. Actually, I never would have been able to figure out you were a supreme alpha. The thing is...I came at the right time when you hadn’t reapplied whatever it was you put on, so...the real potency of your pheromones and scents were slowly beginning to be exposed."
She lifted her gaze to meet his eyes. "What is it? I’m curious."
Malakai eyed his brother.
Caius laughed.
"No way, you must have told her you have something on you." He shook his head. "Malakai don’t undermine my products, okay? I know what I created, and under no circumstances would anyone ever be able to figure out you have something on. It’s a mask for a reason, it isn’t meant to be detected, not unless you tell! So don’t try to fool me."
