THE PLOT

BELLE'S POV

Belle watched in humiliation as Xaden attacked another Alpha over a mere slave. 

First, he turned down her offer to be with him and went after the slave. 

And just as she stood watching him leave with her, she felt ashamed. 

She turned around and saw that all eyes were on her. 

He had disgraced her, all because of that mere servant! 

Alex groaned in pain as his men came to his assistance.

She had never really liked her cousin Alexander, so she didn't feel so bad that he was hurt. 

What she fluke wanted was for Xaden to take someone's life for her. 

The way he had done it for this slave! 

She bent down towards Alex. "You're so weak and useless!"

"Better a weak Alpha than a jilted woman." Alexander said. "You would never have him."

Her face went ashen white. 

"How dare you?" She started. 

His men assisted in lifting him up.
