I narrowed my eyes at him, my jaw clenched tightly in anger. "What did you just say?"

Raven let out a sigh, one that carried an air of resignation, and replied,

"You wanted to be with her, didn't you?"

My eyebrows shot up in surprise. 'How does he know that?"

"Old man, your assumptions are wrong. I don't love that woman. It's only the mate bond that pulled me toward her," I said coldly.

Raven's expression shifted at my response. I studied him closely. Even though he wasn't under any visible pressure, I could hear the rapid pounding of his heart. Fear had begun to take root in him, knowing he was standing before his Head Alpha.

"If that's true, then you would have rejected her already," he retorted.

His words left me momentarily stunned. I had never seriously considered rejecting her before. 'Reject her? Could I even bring myself to do it?'

But then, the memory of her betrayal surfaced in my mind, sending a sharp pang through my chest.

I couldn't accept her anymore. Even though those children were mine and she hadn't been unfaithful during our marriage, she had committed an unforgivable wrong. She had hidden my children from me, planning to marry Beta Axel and live out the rest of her life with him.

If that's what she wanted, I wouldn't stop her. She was free to go. But there was one thing I wouldn't allow: she could not take my children with her. They were mine, and they deserved to carry my name and live their lives like royalty-a prince and a princess.

With these thoughts in mind, I drew a deep breath and made a decision. "I'll reject her soon."

It wasn't a difficult choice. I needed to sever the bond and kill the feelings that had started to grow in my heart for her. Those feelings had already withered in the face of her betrayal.

"Kane!" Finn exclaimed, shaking his head in disbelief. His reaction caught me off guard.

Raven let out a low chuckle and looked elsewhere, muttering just loud enough for me to hear,

"You can't, Alpha. Even if you want to, you can't."

The old man's words ignited my fury. His defiance was insufferable. This was all Alpha Magnus's fault-he had failed to keep his pack in line. Magnus had given too much power to this arrogant man, all because of his so-called magical abilities.

How dare a royal physician speak to the Head Alpha like this?

"I'm reconsidering my decision," I growled. "Instead of locking you up in a dungeon, I might just kill you right here."

Raven's eyes widened in shock, but Finn stepped forward, placing himself between us. "Kane, wait. He's powerful, and he could be useful to us. There's no need to kill him."

I narrowed my eyes at Finn. "Don't waste your sympathy on this old man. How could you believe he 11:21

be of any help to us? What could he possibly do? Tell you when you'll meet your mate?"

Finn averted his gaze, realizing he wouldn't win this argument.

"If you want to kill me, Alpha, then go ahead," Raven said suddenly, his voice calm.

I turned back to him, my anger surging. "Oh, really? What are you going to do? Defend yourself so mehow?"

He locked eyes with me, and for a moment, I saw something shift in his gaze. His eyes turned cloudy, as if he were seeing something far beyond this moment.

"Alpha, you've come to me too soon," he said cryptically. "One day, you'll find yourself in need of me."

I scowled, irritated by the confidence in his voice.

Without another word, I stormed out of his house and climbed into my car. Finn followed closely behind and slid into the seat beside me.

"What do you think?" Finn asked cautiously. "I still believe we shouldn't kill him, Kane."

I glanced at him and sighed, giving in to his request. "Fine. I won't kill him. But you'll be responsible for keeping a close eye on him. Just because he helped her once doesn't mean he won't do it again." 11:22
