Chapter 75 Landon

• I awoke with a serious crick in my neck. The sofa was most definitely not designed for sleeping on. And not to mention the fact that Kai had been pacing the room in the early hours, only added to the difficulty of sleeping. I knew he was struggling. Even I could sense that in him and we weren’t particularly close. I may not like the guy, but I felt bad for him. He clearly wanted his mate, as you should, but I knew there was next to no chance of that.
• The Alpha here was not one to mess with. And he now saw Bella as his. He had got into a fit of rage over his fated mate catching up with a few college friends for coffee, including a few guys, from what I understood. The argument got out of control and he lashed out. I don’t think for a moment he meant to kill her, but falling the way she had down the stairs had broken her neck, I believed, and she had died almost instantly. I hadn’t been here when it happened, I had been on one of my many visits back to see my grandparents.
• But, that did not mean I did not hear about it. News soon spread among the packs, and there were so many rumors about it too. So much was said about it. About him, in general, as a man. An Alpha. But the death was ruled as accidental. In truth, I don’t know how the pack felt about that, because it had put some doubts in their minds about their Alpha. Which I can understand. I knew he had a temper, and that had never changed. If anything, I think it may have got worse.
