Chapter 257: His Last Warning
***************
Chapter 257
~Alpha King Kaid’s POV~
I watched Zara storm off as her words still rang in my ears. Her threat had been clear, her fury intense—and her eyes... those flashing red eyes were etched into my mind.
I turned my gaze to Delia, who remained standing by the bench; her normally confident posture stiffened as though she’d seen a ghost.
"What was that all about?" I demanded as I strode over to her.
Delia flinched at the sharpness in my tone, but her startled expression quickly morphed into her usual smirk. "Oh, nothing," she said, waving a dismissive hand.
I wasn’t buying it. I heard all their conversation loud and clear. My brows furrowed as I stepped closer, letting my aura weigh down on her.
"It’s not nothing. Zara was clearly pissed, which means you must have done something wrong," I thundered.
Delia scoffed, tossing her auburn hair over her shoulder. "Look at you," she said mockingly, her tone dripping with disdain. "Angry and defensive—of someone else, no less. You’re more concerned about her than your own blood."
Her attempt at guilt-tripping struck a nerve, but I refused to let her steer the conversation. "Don’t play that card with me, Delia," I warned her, and she knew better than to try and test my patience.
