Present Day
Xavier POV
"An alliance?" I raised my brows at him "That is out of the blue, Kurtis, what's on your mind?"
One of the biggest lessons I learnt as a young boy from my father was to never trust the words of someone who was once and is your enemy.
'No matter how much of a reconciliation has been done, always reserve 90% of your heart for doubt because forgiving someone for wrongdoing is the hardest thing on earth'
Now as I sat opposite Kurtis, I knew he was lying. Why did he suddenly want an alliance? I've been out of the picture for the longest time and have solely relied on Lucius's effort as a Beta to help me run the pack. So, anyone coming to me now for an alliance was either mocking me or didn't know where I had been for quite a while now.
