CHAPTER 393 - Emotions and Control 2
~Valerie's POV~
"The betrothal between us is null." Kai's voice rang across the room for all to hear. "Stay out of my personal life. Valerie did not steal anything from anyone. I was originally hers, and I still am."
Gasps scattered everywhere.
Serena blinked once, then twice. Then, a slow, devastatingly calm smile spread across her face.
"Is it?" she asked softly. "Because… my father didn't sign anything annulling any betrothal."
Silence slammed through the cafeteria.
I felt it the rage crash through Kai. I could feel Kaiser's pulse as Kai's fist balled at his sides.
Serena, as bold as she was, dared to place her hand on his arm. My stomach twisted painfully. Astra stirred within me, ready to spring into action and tear her apart for touching our mate.
Isla whispered, "Oh shit."
Kai's jaw clenched, his eyes darkening for a moment. "Continue being deluded. Valerie Nightshade is my mate."
