Chapter 44

Hector frowned slightly and spoke in a cold, hard voice. "Kaza just said that you had a relationship with him and almost became his mate... I want your explanation."

"What did you say? Relationship? Mate?"

I was so surprised that I stammered.

"Is that all he told you?"

"What else?"

"No, absolutely not!"

I raised two fingers and said piously, "I swear to the Moon Goddess that I have nothing to do with him! If I lie, my mate will die in his boots!"

Not only was Hector not happy, but his face darkened. I didn't know why he was unhappy. He's just my ex-mate, please.

"Well... he didn't say anything else except these messy words?"

I asked cautiously.

"No."

"That's good."

I heaved a sigh of relief.

Damn it, Kaza actually fooled me...But he didn't reveal my identity, which is quite righteous.
