Kiera shuddered in the face of his cold stare. She lowered her head and pursed her lips into a thin line. She believed Zane was angry, but she was also adamant. In any case, she couldn't accept his rejection. She would keep persuading him until he accepted her.
"I will never become a barrier between you and Eleanor," she continued to say. "I know she will always be your first preference, and I have no objection. All I want is to be with you. Please Alpha… permit me to be by your side. I will serve you and Eleanor wholeheartedly and without complaint."
Zane's heart was not completely shut to her. When he noticed her sob and plea, his expression softened. He didn't want to reject her either. He was only hesitant a little, thinking about Eleanor. He did not want to make any hasty decisions and instead wanted to wait for her return. Before discussing this matter with her, he didn't want to start a relationship with Kiera.
