Chapter 45- Fiancé’s Wife
Aurora/Phoenix:
Jai kept looking at my face, and I bent my head to focus on my food that had gotten cold. He was my best friend who stood up for me countless times.
I cried in his arms numerous times, but did it give him the right to take my decision-making power from me?
"I never said you were a coward. That’s why I always call you by the name ’warrior’. "
I closed my eyes and took in a long breath, "Stop speaking on my behalf, Jai," I stood up, gripping the edge of the table, "This isn’t your decision. It never was. Most of the pack members don’t hate me due to my face. It’s because I have got you," my voice shook a little, "They don’t like me because of your biasness. Because of you, the king probably thinks that I’m being hidden for a reason. Look what you have done, Jai."
He got to his feet, too. Tension was evident on his face, "Please, Phoe. Don’t be mad. I thought I was protecting you."
"You messed it up!" I pushed the chair back, "You made it worse."
His jaw was clenched, but he didn’t say anything after that. I walked away without a backward glance, not even bothering to pick up my half-eaten lentil soup.
"Asshole!" I muttered.

"Are you sure?" Alpha Blake leaned back in his seat when I nodded at him.
I went straight to his office and asked him to let me meet the king.
