Sloane’s POV
V? My fingers curl tight. So Kai hadn’t simply forgotten or overlooked these things. He had intentionally kept me ignorant throughout our entire relationship.
And V knew.
My chest aches at the thought. Kai’s wolf, who clearly had disagreed with him, yet he had still been forced to remain loyal to the man controlling his choices. V had trusted Zia enough to confide in her, knowing she would understand what he couldn’t change.
I feel sorry for him. V had been trapped by the same bond that kept Zia tied to Kai.
But… why would Kai do this? What is his gain?
I direct the question to her, and Xavier reaches down to lift my chin, so our eyes clash. A tiny furrow settles between his brows, and the faint crimson ring around his irises tells me Moros is still close to the surface.
