Mated to My Enemy novel Chapter 60

I cringe at his yelling and bite my lip again. He sees and his face softens the slightest bit. He closes his eyes and takes a deep breath.

"Why?" he asks more calmly.

"I- Look, he's a good guy. He had a very valid reason why he did what he did."

I could see him start to get worked up again as I finished the sentence.

"And what is this supposed valid reason?" he asks as he grits his teeth.

I go up to him and put my hand on his arm. I see he instantly relaxes and I take that as my chance to talk.

"His beloved. The king promised him that he could bring her back to life and that they could be together again," I say softly.

His expression hardens.

"And why would he believe that lying scumbag? Everyone knows he's full of tricks," he argues.

"Don't you get it? It was his beloved," I say, trying to convince him.

I still see his hard expression and decide to use another tactic.

"Would you have done the same if you were in his shoes?" I ask lowly.

I see his expression falter and he sighs. I hit the right spot.

"Okay, I guess I wouldn't have done differently as he did," he says, not meeting my gaze.

I grab his chin and turn it towards me so that he meets my gaze. Once those bright brown orbs turn to look at me, I cup his cheek and give him a hopeful smile.

He groans and gives in.

"Fine, he can stay, but he is not frogiven yet for what he has done. he has to earn the trust and talk to me for something he did. Oh, and one little slip up, one iny minny slip up, and he's a dead man," he says.

I get confused when he saids that Kyle did somethin that he has to talk to him but, I push it to the side. I don't want to ruin the decision. I smile brightly and give him a hug. He digs his nose into my neck and inhales deeply.

"Mine," I hear him whisper.

"Yours," I whisper back.

(Next day)

I finally convinced Arron to let me help out with the plans with the war. So that is what we are currently doing, me sitting on Arron's lap as he grabbed my waist and sat me down. Of course, I blushed but, didn't move otherwise. We're in his office along with Luke and Ben.

Where are the adults you may ask. Well, after they hand down the titals to their kids, they leave the pack for a while to give the new alpha, beta, third in command, a chance to finally do it all on their own. So yeah.

Back to the war topic, has told me multiple times that I will be taking no part in this war but, I say otherwise. I already told him that I can defend myself but he is a stubborn flat butt. But, in the end, we'll see who wins. AKA me.

Before Arron can object, I say yes. I turn to Arron and give him a hug.

"I'll tell you later okay?" I assure him.

He nods curtly and says, "Fine."

I wave to Ben and Luke and go outside the office. I walk into a room with Zander following behind. I close the door and wait for Zander to start talking.

He then begins to explain the letters and evrything that he has recently found out.

"I think that the human that my mom was talking about is you Daph," he says.

I shake my head.

"No, it's not me, i'm nothing special," I say, objecting.

"But it has to be you," he says stubbornly.

I shake my head harder.

"Nope. Plus, you said that the knife thingy had to be used by a vampire," I told him.
